Hi I am running my own businesses after leaving a corporate world of work.

I used to use conference calls but never gave a thought as to how they worked. Company organised, paid etc.

Now I am in a position with one of the businesses where I have two other partners. Getting together for a regulat catch up may be difficult.

Can I organise conference calling from BT 02 or Vidafone, and will it cost a fortune? I am only going to have a need 2-3 times a month.

I think you're on the wrong forum.

You can get free conference numbers, which use 0844 numbers to make their cash, so you enssentially pay thorugh your phone bill. Someone like Arkadin and/ or Conference now.

We use "GoToMeeting" for WebCasts and find it excellent. Get one of these accounts and it will provide you with a conference call too.

I work for a small company and we use Conference Genie http://www.conferencegenie.co.uk/ They're fairly cheap and we've had no problems that I can remember..

I wouldn't recommend Skype for business calls.

Are you looking to make international conference calls and/or do you anticipate being at or near a landline phone for the calls or do you need to be able to make/receive conference calls anywhere? i.e. on a mobile.
