Many vendors who offer cheap conference calling have their service set up as an automated system.  The customer is given a call in number and access code to distribute to their participants, and often times that’s all you need.  Minutes are usually purchased in bulk and vendors can usually be talked into waiving set-up fees and minimum usage agreements.  By buying minutes in bulk customers can take advantage of the volume discounts provided by most vendors.  Customers are provided with a monthly usage statement similar to your phone bill.

Vendors may also provide options like instant activation, call management via the Internet and always-on conferencing.  It is best to compare the services offered by several different vendors of cheap conference calling to determine which offers the best deal and which service is right for your needs.

How do vendors offer cheap conference calling?  Most vendors today operate their own telephone bridges and infrastructure.  This allows them to bypass many of the normal overhead operating expenses and pass the savings along to their customers.

Can I choose my own dial-in number?  Probably not.  Most vendors automatically assign a call in number to you when you sign up.  This allows them to more easily balance call volume between their call bridges.
