Shortcode International

Conference calling is a great and inexpensive way to stay in touch with your customers and friends for a very low price rate. It’s still somewhat new to the public, but everyday individuals and businesses that are using this service profit a lot from these low price rates.

Since the VoIP was introduced to the world, communication has dramatically saved a lot of money for  many companies and people alike.

It’s not so difficult to comprehend how much you can actually save on international conference calls when you do not know about VoIP, so let me briefly explain this technology.

Voice over IP is a communication service that transports,voice and maybe voice-applications via the internet rather than the basic switch telephone network. A VoIP telephone call is the coding of sound waves, creating a media channel to pass it forward where this coded sound signal is encoded,packaged and transmitted using IP. Therefore this way of communication makes it reliable.

Conferencing is a common tool that is used by companies to reduce there expenses on transportation and accommodation by being able to keep in touch with customers and contacts  as well as employees all over the world with just one call. Accessories are readily available to boost the effectiveness of conferencing e.g. VoIP-phones.

Unfortunately finding the right provider for an international conference call is no easy task because many companies say they offer free calls but secretly include hidden fees that are overwhelming to the public when bills are received. There is no need to worry because this is not true for some companies. Client’s only pay for the connection fee of the local call providers,fee for connecting you to the dialled number. Also keeping the sound quality and call rates to best please the clients.

Some of the features available while making a conference call are the “record” button which is used to record your conversations for future reference, but mostly used by individuals like you and me to save some memorable conversations in an audio file. Another special feature is the “lecture mode” (reminds me of my school days) which is used to mute all listeners that way you can hold a debriefing without any interruptions.

It’s hard be believe that many  companies do not use this wonderful conference call to stay connected to there clients and contacts but I guess its only a matter of time that they get smart as well with the growing popularity amongst companies I doubt they will be left to take unnecessary losses.

It is a good way not only as a businesses strategy tool but as a great way to stay in touch with your family overseas without having to pay huge phone bills at the end of every month.
