Telephone conferencing can be done by one host calling up all the participants or every participant dialling the access code to connect to the conference bridge, which is basically a server connecting multiple telephone lines to each other. Call conferencing is frequently used by companies to communicate with people within as well as outside the business. This helps minimise business travel and cut down on expenses.

Teleconferencing service providers maintain conference bridges and provide unique access codes for a host of conferencing services.

The persons may be physically thousands of miles apart, but telephone conferencing helps them to effectively communicate and co-ordinate between themselves.
