If you spend a lot of your life travelling the world, then it can be difficult to keep in touch with those who matter the most to you. Whether it’s family, customers or colleagues, staying in contact can be hard work.
However, if you’re running a business, or even if you’re working abroad, taking advantage of a call conference service could be the key to keeping things moving whilst you’re away.
That urgent account with finance, the weekly check-in with your sales team, or even the review of activity with marketing. These are all meetings that can be had on the go.
Huge range of dedicated conference numbers available
With the option of free, local and international access numbers, you can jump onto a group call wherever you may be. With call charges to the caller ranging from absolutely free to local rate with some providers, you can make sure your business keeps moving no matter how far apart you and your colleagues are.
When you choose a dedicated conference numbers, that number is yours to keep and use exclusively. This means that you and your colleagues can save it into your handset for easy dialling in wherever you are.
With plans designed for both small businesses and larger companies alike, you can always make sure that you avoid nasty roaming charges by offering your employees a local dial-in number to your call conference service.
Numbers are on offer from countries all over the world. It doesn’t matter whether you’re on a beach in Barbados or skiing in Switzerland. Staying up-to-date with your colleagues is as easy as dialling in, selecting your room and the conference starts.
You are able to set up multiple rooms on the service, which means that each department can have their own private area. Maybe marketing needs a call at the same time as finance? No problems. You can both use the service at the same time. The minutes used simply come out of your monthly minute allowance, or are charged at the standard service rate.
With super-fast setup and a self-service portal to manage your meetings, it’s never been easier to organise meetings on-the-go. If you want to turn call recording on, it’s only the click of a button before all of your conferences are recorded for easy note-taking later.
