Being cheap and independent, I’ve tried a lot of free conference call services. While I haven’t had to chance to run enough calls on this service to comment on the call quality, in terms of features this is the slickest service I’ve seen.

Sign up and you get a dedicated reservationless bridge for yourself that includes more base features than any service I’ve seen, including free call recording:

“LiveOffice’s FreeConferencing lets you record your conference calls at no cost. Not only is recording your conference call free, but it’s as simple as dialing the phone plus the audio file from your recorded conference is saved in MP3 format for superior audio quality and flexible playback. Your recording will be made available online within sixty minutes of your conference call concluding and will remain available for a minimum of the next thirty days.”

That’s not even the slickest feature, that title falls to their web control panel. With the control panel you can not only control your call, you can see who’s on the call and what number they called in from. No more calls filled “who just joined the call?” and “who just dropped off the call?”.

That’s not all (this is turning quickly into an infomercial), with the web control panel you can dial out to participants although there are some restrictions around the use of this feature. I believe you need five inbound calls for every one outbound call.
