Free world wide conference call


Unlimited Free Conference Calls Anywhere In The World Using Any Type Of Calling Device


FreeConferenceCall claims to be the "world’s largest free conference provider". Ok, 'largest' may or may not be "hyperbole", but I thought for sure they were joking when they said they were "free", so I checked out their website and they are indeed 'free'. In fact, they leverage our good ole' pal, VoIP. Further, their free conferencing system supports any type of calling device: desktop softphone, traditional phone, broadband phone cellular phone, etc.

Tomorrow, FreeConferenceCall.com, GizmoProject (a Skype competitor) and Vapps will be announcing what they claim to be the industry’s first deployment where general consumers will have the ability to make unlimited free conference calls to anywhere in the world using VoIP or traditional calling devices. The backbone behind the deployment is Vapps CB1000 conferencing platform. CB1000 is a SIP-enabled, carrier-grade conferencing platform.

According to FreeConferenceCall.com, "Free reservationless conferencing is our marquee service and our most popular." I asked FreeConference Call how they can keep their service free and they responded, "FreeConferenceCall can keep their primary conferencing service free because they charge for other services such as: Toll-free reservationless, Voice Center Messaging and Operator assistance." They added, "What’s cool about this announcement is that by using a Hybrid IP/TDM bridge (from Vapps) FreeConferenceCall can enhance service offerings by allowing the user to download a softphone client (from Gizmo Project) and connect to any type of conference call (IP or TDM)."
