Affordable Conferencing offers a great product. I am President of an investment club with members spread across the country. We try to hold periodic meeting to discuss club business; however, we had great difficulty with this using services such as online conferencing and chat rooms as these services were often unreliable, unpredictable, and security was always a question. In addition, standard teleconferencing was not an option due to the excessive expensive. Then I came across "Affordable Conferencing", which promise great service at a great price. I gave the service a try and sure enough found it was a true teleconferencing service that was simple and inexpensive to use. We held our meeting using this service with 8 members in 5 different states. We were provided a toll-free number, so there were no additional cost to the members. We met for about an hour and the bill was only about $35.00. This was great and well within our budget. We will definitely be using this service again.

How much will my conference call cost?

I will give two examples here how a conference call cost is calculated.

Per minute toll free conference calling is very popular and the total cost is paid by the company who set up the conference calling account. The participate pays nothing since they call into a toll free number provided by the conference leader. You take the number of people in the conference times cents per minute times the length of the conference.10 people x11 cents per minute =$1.10 and that times how long the conference was, say 30 minutes =$33.00 ($1.10 x 30) for the conference. The a chart below show a 60 minute conference with different numbers of people in it.

9 Cents Per Minute, Per Person as used in the Econo Conference.

Cost Breakdown*
Callers Cost
3 $16.20
5 $27.00
10 $54.00
15 $81.00
20 $108.00
30 $162.00

*Cost Breakdown is a 1 Hour (60 Minute) Call.

The second is Unlimited flat rate conferencing which is paid for unlimited usage 24/7 for one flat rate. This is very popular for those companies who conference call a lot and want the most for the least. The leader and participate pay their own long distance charge because they do not use a toll free number. Here is an example of a breakdown of what this service would cost. Remember you have a 1+ number and pay your own long distance charges.

Flat Monthly Rates
Lines Cost Cost Per Line
20 $80 $4.00
50 $150 $3.00
100 $175 $1.75
250 $250 $1.00
500 $500 $1.00
750 $675 $.90
1000 $800 $.80
