Conference Call Prices Include Flat Rate

Phone conference call prices include any number of plans that can be suited to your particular budget, needs and applications.

For example, heavy conference users who rack up a substantial number of minutes per month are attracted to unlimited plans that enable them to use conferencing services 24/7 by just paying one flat rate per month. Flat rates users save a substantial amount of money by avoiding per minute charges and can talk as long as they want, as much as they want. There is only downside to flat rate plans is that they do include toll free conferencing so users just dial a regular long distance number. On the other hand, long distance rates have dropped so low recently that the small extra charge to call into the flat rate conferencing number could very well be worth it. Moreover, most cell phone plans include free long distance and those who have VOIP digital cable connections don't pay long distance either. So flat rate pricing does have a number of advantages.

Another conferencing pricing plan option is per minute pricing, usually provided on a pay-as-you-go basis, either with toll free 800 service, or a more inexpensive non-toll free set up. This is an ideal solution for organizations that have variable calling patterns -- heavy use one month, and light use the next. With per minute pricing you only pay for what you use, when you use it, unlike flat rate conferencing which requires you to pay a flat monthly rate regardless of how many minutes you use. The primary reason why businesses and organizations choose per minute conferencing is because of the convenience and professionalism of offering a toll free conference number to customers and prospects.

Toll free 800 conferencing is available on a per minute basis, or in a new packaged "bundle" or "bucket" of minutes, similar to how cell phone plans work. You can purchase a discounted package of minutes and if you go over that amount, you are simply charged the regular per minute rate.

Overall, conference call prices are coming down because of stiff competition and large telecommunication capacity. What used to cost dollars, now costs pennies, and conference consumers are finding substantial cost savings by avoiding meeting and travel costs. It's simply much easier to meet over the phone or web, than it is to fight traffic, congestion and other time wasting obstacles, than it is to just pick up the phone. Conferencing will continue to be a collaborative backbone in the world of commerce and communications and conference call prices will continue to trend downward.
