UK conference call providers – hosted conferences, 08 services and WHYPAY? compared

As businesses turn to teleconferencing in a bid to solve their communication issues, most of them look to cut costs. In a competitive market, there are many providers like WHYPAY? that offer a host of teleconferencing services at affordable rates. These cost effective solutions allow users to create a free conference room with no hidden costs.

Conference calls using 08 numbers turn out to be more expensive since there are no free bundled minutes offered by mobile operators for calls to those numbers. On the other hand, teleconference services providers like WHYPAY? offer free conference calls since calls to 03 numbers from mobiles or fixed phones are included in the free bundled minutes offered by mobile and landline operators, making calls to these numbers virtually free. Where free minutes are not available, all calls are charged at the same rate as calls to landline numbers across the UK, which are 01 and 02 numbers.

WHYPAY? allows you to set up a free teleconference room with the best voice quality possible. You are provided with an access code for managing the conference while a separate access code is provided for participants.

What are you missing out on by not conference calling?

In recent years, companies have realised the need for worldwide expansion. Thanks to breakthroughs in communication technology, the task of dealing with employees, clients, and customers from all over the globe has become much easier. Teleconferencing has become the preferred mode of communication to reach out to people in remote places.

Without teleconferencing services, companies end up spending significant amounts on travel and other related expenses for their staff. Coordinating seminars and promotional conferences becomes more difficult when you have people at different locations. A company representative that requires putting forth a proposal for a business deal in another location will need to spend on travel, lodging, and incidental expenses despite no assurance that the client will accept the proposal.

Conference calling from a mobile? How to ensure voice quality and free access to the call

Hosting a conference call through a mobile phone has become increasingly popular especially where an emergency may arise during a development of a project. Although it is easier to host a conference call from a landline, there are steps that can be taken to ensure voice quality and free access to a call from a mobile phone.

There are a few limitations when it comes to hosting conference calls from a mobile device. More than five or six participants during a call is not possible and therefore, teleconferencing is not possible when the number of participants is large. In addition, conversations cannot be recorded, which is a major drawback if you need to refer to the call in the future. In order to overcome these drawbacks, teleconferencing services providers such as WHYPAY? constantly improve on technology with devices and software to make this possible. Conference call technology now supports a variety of mobile phones including iPhones, BlackBerry, and Androids.
