Conferencetown.com is better. I’ve tried both…and it’s not even close as to who has better connectivity, options, etc.

Whoever posted about conferencetown.com, thanks. We tried it and loved it. We actually use it because it lets us block anonymous callers and also block “certain” numbers from our conferences.

The free conferencing options are nice for smaller groups, but they are not, as others have said, long-lived. The biggest misconception is for users with larger needs and want 800 number access. Some of these “free” services are not quite that inexpensive.

Good luck!

I have been using freeconferencecalling.com for a while now. No such restrictions there.

You can have a conference call for up to 500 people and the web control is great.

It lets you record and keep the conferences for ever and stream it as podcast.

Here is a video tutorial for those who are interested

Just use Conferencetown.com. It’s all free, and it lets you record, see all the people (names & numbers) in your conference, etc.

Our company just switched to conferencetown. We tried others but nothing was as simple and straight forward as them.

Works great – maxxed out my conference time, application ended my call – lol. Very cool, still sucks I have to wait until tomorrow to continue using. What gets me is that this conferencing service is free. I’ll likely keep using dukaUS for free conferencing.

Al, all of the applications within the labs are driven by APIs provided by Jaduka.

Milo, Great point and to answer your questions, the calls are secure. There is no recording of the calls. If you are on a call with 3 other people, your conversation is between the group and no one else.

Low cost conference provides a full fledged conference calling service at a very affordable price: 4.5 cents per minute.

Can you initiate the conference using an API of sorts?

By: Milo

Have they provided security assurance on conversations? If businesses are going to use their free conference call, they should at the very least provide or market themselves as free & private and secured service.

Blogspot itself is not monotized…but Google gets a cut from its adsense users ..which is implemented on many blogs…so in a way…yes.

if you are looking for a free conferece call service for a small business, I would suggest freeconferencepro.com. There is no limit on the amount of time you can use, up to 200 members on the call, no “lag”, and you can customize a greeting for your business. We are using this with my current company and so far its been great….and its free.

Yeah I did, I talked about it in the third paragraph. It worked pretty well, though I had a few gripes about the delay (that may be affected by network conditions though).

Jason – Did you personally try it out before writing? What did you think?

Is twitter monetized? is blogspot monetized? May be dakaus is also planning to get the grip with the users first and then charge them once they get addicted to the service.

But the case with blogspot or twitter is – once i join, i continue to use for a long time. While i can easily move from one voice conference service provider to another for lower cost.

Makes sense, it is difficult to make users stick and hence make money..
