Does your free conference line suck?

I've had it with free conference lines! They suck!

I used to recommend free services for people who didn't want to rent my lines and get full customer service. If they didn't need my help, that's okay, because free lines were okay.

But now, I'm getting emails from people saying their clients can't onto the call, or their clients get kicked off the call, or there's an echo.

Why?

The quality of these lines stink. They used to be good, but now there's a big court case going on with the telephone companies and the free services (too complicated to go into here), but it appears the quality of the service is dropping fast.

If you want guaranteed, high quality lines, Great Teleseminars rents phone lines for $25 for the first 25 people and $1 per person thereafter. If you are looking for a nearly free solution that includes automatic recording, try this service instead. I've tried it and it works fine. PLUS, they don't use the "free lines" that can bomb out on you.

If your call is valuable, don't trust it to a free service. Remember, you get what you pay for.

Nearly free recording at new teleseminar service

If you're looking for nearly-free recording and no hassles, you'll want to check out Instant Teleminars. You'll also be able to host 200 people on the call. Plus they will be able to send you questions by a web user interface.

You can test this service out for $1 and if you like it, you'll get unlimited service for less than $50. It really is automatic. I tried it and it worked.

There are other features for notifying your guests, etc. Read more about it here.
