Teleconference Services

Conference Calling: A discussion and some links

Many local phone companies provide an optional service for adding a second party to your phone calls. And most office phone systems provide ways to merge (bridge) two or three lines together.

But both of these have their limitations. If you need more than just the basic connection, or if you need to bring together more than just a few people to discuss something, the way to do it right is with a professional teleconference bridging service.

In the bad old days, this was a very costly service available only by calling the operator of one of the major long distance carriers. Now, however, a lot of specialized companies have entered the field and, as with the rest of the telecommunication marketplace, prices have come down and many new features are available that you couldn't have bought at any price back when you were at the mercy of AT&T, MCI and Sprint.

So, unless you're committed to doing things the old, expensive ways, you can now get a lot more value for your money with just a little shopping.
