There are a lot of conference call providers in the market. They offer you different kinds of rates. Lets know which type of rate can be the best for your business.
In the past telecommunications companies charged by the minute for teleconferencing services. This means that businesses had to rush through their conferences in order to avoid paying huge sums of money. Although they only paid for the service when they used it, using it was a very expensive proposition.
As teleconferencing services developed and the number of providers grew, there are better and more affordable rates that have been made available for users. The increased demand for such services has given birth to the flat rate conferencing plan. This is a rate that is paid monthly for unlimited usage. Businesses can now take advantage of paying a fixed rate per month and using the facility as often as they need to for as long as they like.
Flat rate conferencing means better value for money because businesses can get unlimited usage. Businesses can now hold their teleconferences for an entire day and not worry about the cost. Compare the cost of having an 8 hour teleconference that is billed per minute compared to a fixed rate. The result is considerable savings. There are several industries that use the service heavily including financial services, multi-level marketing, large corporations, associations, educational institutions, and many more.
Single rates mean better value for money because the budget can be set for the con-call expense per monthly. There is no stress associated with guessing how much the bill will be every month.
A flat rate means that the participants call a toll number instead of a toll-free number. This means that the cost of distance calls is charged to the person making the call. The business only has to pay long distance charges on their own long distance calls.
Organizations need not worry that they may have up to a thousand participants. There are many call service providers who offer flat rates for conference services up to a 1000 conferees.
With an unlimited plan, businesses get the same features as that of a traditional per minute service. Users can make use of recording services, roll calls, mediation on question and answers, and other services.
As the demand for unlimited teleconferencing usage plans increase, there are more and more companies that choose to take the fixed monthly rates. They find it more convenient to pay a fixed amount monthly than to worry about the escalating conference call bills. They can also hold as many meetings as they want and have each session go on for as long as they want without having to pay exorbitant bills.
