Reservationless Conference Calls
Reservationless conferencing, as it is aptly named, does not require any participants of the meeting to sign up. All you have to do is the dial the telephone numbers of people you want in the conference. The conference will be a standard phone call among several participants. All you will need is a telephone and a multi-calling feature that many telephone service provider can give for a minimal monthly fee. It is an ordinary phone conference--it cannot be recorded, you cannot request for minutes of meetings from an outside company, or a voice recording of the conference. This makes reservationless conferencing much cheaper than many packages.

To get the extras without spending more, you can invest in a telephone unit with a recorder function and get versed on recording telephone conversations using the unit. You can then play back the recorded conversation and transcribe it. This will give you the minutes of the meeting you need without spending an extra dime.

Hard Work
If you do not have the time and the knowledge to do conference calls on your own, and you prefer to ask for professional help, do not forget to ask around first. Do not grab at the first offer given to you. Look at the prices from different companies. See what are included in each package. The most important of all, haggle. Try to talk the company out into pulled-down rates. You may also want to put off several services included in the package to do this.

To set up a conference call, you have to know what you want, and how much you are willing to spend for it. That will make it easy for you to get the service you want, at the price you want it.
