Bring the family together by starting a family conference call with a prepaid conference call card.

Now more than ever we are scattered around the world, busy with our careers, pursuing educational endeavors, and raising children. As much as we would like to stay in touch with our families, it is often difficult to meet at a time and place that everyone can accommodate. We do our best to call family members one at a time to touch base, but it never feels the same as sharing with the whole family.

Fortunately, in recent years, telecommunications products and services have advanced to the point where we can communicate with each other over great distances at very low cost and with exceptional clarity. One such alternative, which can help your family reunite, is conferences.

Starting or joining a family conference call is easy and inexpensive. It is not necessary to change the long distance operator. There is no complicated user guide to read. And again … it’s incredibly cheap to start or join a family conference call.

How simple? It really is as easy as 1) Buying a conference call PIN, 2) Giving family members your Access Code and a toll-free access number or toll-free access number, and 3) Starting to talk.

So cheap? Some conference call service providers offer free trials and very low per-minute rates (compared to Big Bells). Depending on the conference call service provider you choose, starting or joining a conference call in the US can cost less than 5 ¢ / min. If a family member is outside the US, they can still join at a relatively cheap per-minute rate using an international toll-free number or a paid local access number if necessary. Even the most conservative long distance budget can now include space for a family conference call.

Take charge of this holiday season and bring the family together by hosting a family teleconference or virtual family reunion.
