Conference Call
-------------------------
First thing first the vast majority of
conference call operators are thoroughly respectable, however there are
those who that given the huge global market of conference calls see some
customers as 'Easy money'.
Hopefully the following may open your eyes as to some of the Rip-Offs you
may come across: -
A low price is good but if always ask the following questions from any
conference call provider
is the low price offered just at off-peak times, does it apply all day?
Does it apply to all countries and time
zones? Vital if you have worldwide offices
Are you committed to buying certain amount of
minutes each month e.g. if you commit to a price plan whereby you have to
pay for 10,000 conference call minutes whether you use them or not is that
fair? A bit like photo copiers, should you just pay for what you use and not
what the salesman 'Estimates' you'll use?
Do you have to sign up to a contract for a set period of time? Avoid this if
possible as the price of conference calls is still coming down and you
should reserve the option to change conference call providers
Does the 'low' price only apply after a set number of minutes per call? Or
does the low price apply from the first minute?
Is there a minimum charge per conference call?
So now you know some of the tricks browse a few conference call providers
and ask these vital questions before making your decision.
