Free Conferencing Corporation Brings Clarity to
FREE Audio Conferencing
High-Quality, PSTN-based FreeConferenceCall.com
Service Delivers Digital Clarity And Collaborative Conferencing without Set-Up
Hassles and Costly Bills
Long Beach, CA (April 11, 2006) –
Free Conferencing Corporation of America, the leading provider of FREE
one-to-many collaborative communications solutions, is taking FREE audio
conferencing to new levels. Used worldwide by more than 200,000
consumers, from small businesses to large enterprise organizations,
FreeConferenceCall.com offers a high-quality, reservation-less conferencing
service that is extremely easy to use. The service is ideal for companies
and organizations, large and small, which need a reliable, hassle-free tool to
arrange teleconferences. It also provides reporting functionality
including an email summary listing call date, calling number, start time, end
time, number of attendees, and total minutes.
“Audio conferencing has become a mission-critical
tool to conduct business,” said David Erickson, founder and CEO, Free
Conferencing Corporation of America. “We are offering organizations
the best of both worlds with a FREE, convenient communications tool that
eliminates the conferencing fees associated with paid providers, yet delivers
high-quality PSTN (public switched telephone
network) lines that paid and other free providers cannot match
– all with zero commitment and no need for reservations.”
According to Erickson, consumers simply provide an
email address and within seconds are given an account with their own unique
phone number and access codes. Consumers can use the service to create a
virtual conference room where professionals and workgroups can conduct
business, exchange ideas and collaborate with colleagues, customers and
prospects.
FreeConferenceCall.com’s pioneering all digital network is built on voice
routers versus analog-based conference bridges that can be prone to static and
other noise. In addition, FreeConferenceCall.com offers the scalability
of allowing up to 96 callers at a time with the capacity to expand that number
to 200 callers for an additional fee.
Industry Analyst Perspective on Conferencing and
Collaboration Market
“The conferencing and collaboration market is prime for a solution such
as FreeConferenceCall.com,” said Marc Beattie, Partner & CSP Practice
Manager, Wainhouse Research, LLC. “With a 300% increase in growth
over the past year, FreeConferenceCall.com is poised to excel in a market that
has grown to more than 29 billion minutes worldwide in 2005 – a 16%
increase over the 2004 number of 25 billion minutes.”
Customers Tout the Advantages of
FreeConferenceCall.com
More than 100 Fortune 500 companies are presently optimizing
FreeConferenceCall.com as well as public sector agencies. “As the
head of our Telecom Department, I have discovered unique ways to integrate
FreeConferenceCall.com services into our overall telecom platform,” said
Joe Flores, Manager, Telecommunications, Openwave. “It is especially
helpful to our Professional Services group. Professional Services has
conferences with many third party consultants and the ease of use and high
quality has enabled them to utilize the system and its services and save the
company money.” Openwave (Nasdaq:
OPWV) is the leading independent provider of open
software products and services for the communications industry, including
wireless operators, broadband providers and device manufacturers worldwide.
Openwave and other FreeConferenceCall.com can benefit from its unmatched 24/7
customer service -- many paid and, especially, non-paid conferencing companies
have little or no customer service operations.
