The internet gives us time and location freedom. We can fire up our computers and connect with the global community from anywhere as long as there is an internet connection. That’s the good part. The downside is that our virtual team members are usually spread out geographically. In order to conduct business and collaborate on a project, we will eventually need to talk with our team live.

One solution for communicating as a team is by three-way calling. But if there are more people than three in different locations, three-way calling will not work. In the past, the solution to this was to rent a conference call number. Since that costs money and our team is virtual, who’s to pay for the conference call? Luckily, there is a free solution.

Recently, I have been using a free conference call service called freeconferencecall.com. By simply entering your name and email address, freeconferencecall.com will give you a conference call number that can accommodate up to 96 people for up to 6 hours. Not only that, they also offer free recording and a call log as part of their service. The only thing that the callers have to pay for is the long distance call. However, if you use a wireless carrier that has a long distance plan, you are covered there too.

The voice quality of the service is very good. The quality of the recording is very good too. After the call, you can simply download the audio file to your computer. Good stuff.

I highly recommend this service if your have less than 96 people that you need to conference.
