There are many conference call service providers out there, all of which are competing for your attention.
Some are free, some are not. But all of them compete with one another to keep you, the user, happy.

Conference calling can be beneficial to your business instead of a face to face meeting for several reasons. The most obvious reasons are savings in time and money which are often the main costs when organizing and arranging face to face meetings.
