Our state of the art conference calling services, save you travelling time, fuel and hotel bills.

They're not only eco-friendly, but ideal when face to face meetings just aren't possible due to adverse travelling conditions e.g. strike, bad weather or in times of public emergency or civil unrest.

Our teleconference facilities are professional, reliable and effective. They are a proven winner and used by many businesses, leading charities, volunteer groups, clubs and even family gatherings.

iPhone Conferencing?

If you like the iPhone conference call service, then you'll love ours!

With the iPhone you have to dial each member of the conference yourself. With our conference facility you don't have this responsibility or stress. In our service each member simply dials in at an agreed time.

Monthly Cost?

There is no monthly bill for this powerful meeting service. All our services are free to own. With the ability to have over 30 people in the conference, it really delivers superb value for money, when you think of the savings in time and travelling costs, now it's no longer necessary for everyone to meet up.

Conference Numbers

Free, Cheap or Rewards?

Unlike the iPhone using Flextel each member simply dials in and the share of costs can be varied between you and your callers. This share depends on the type of the phone number you decide to use.

033 Corporate Conference Call Numbers - Lowest cost to call, but you pay for the service

Finally, you may wish to subsidise the calls from many mobiles and landlines packages. These calls are often included in the free call bundle, of many tariff packages.

To do this just select our 0330 conferencing numbers. You will pay a fee for each call minute, but only when you actually use the service.

084 Conference Call Numbers - No cost to you

If you want the caller to pay for the whole service, then use 0844 conferencing numbers. This make sense not only for business meetings, but also for volunteer groups, where costs need to be kept low and spread. This will cost you nothing to operate.

0871 Conference Call Numbers - Maximum Rewards for you

If you want to maximise FlexPoints collected on call use, then you can choose our 0871 conferencing numbers.
