Conference calls become indispensable when you need to collaborate or share information with more than one person—particularly when all of you are in different locations. Whether you need to exchange ideas with your small business partners around the country (or world), or share some key information and stories with your network marketing business associates, conference calling is an absolute must have. Thankfully, technology has made such conference calling extremely affordable, and many times even free. There are dozens of affordable conference call services out there so you have plenty of choices. What we’ll focus on here, though, is free, reliable, and flexible. Here are 5 of the top conference calling services that fit that bill.

Web/Video Chat Conferencing
Four: Skype.com
In addition to being a great phone service for business (See Skype For Mobile Business), Skype also does great conference calling. While not as robust as some of the more traditional conference calling services described above, it still works great in the 3-10 people range (any more people and the call quality often suffers). Where Skype also really shines is video chat conferencing. Being able to see people in real time and share links, video and docs can be incredibly helpful and fun.

No download.” Their free video chat plan is really simple to use and has great features like being able to hear and see up to 20 participants at once, text chat in the call, and being able to share YouTube videos within the call so everyone can see them.
