Free conference calling without having to make a reservation is the marquee service of FreeConferenceCall.com. The service requires you register with your name and email address to receive your free dedicated dial-in number and access code. The company actually offers a number of conferencing services, each with slight variations on the same theme, with just a few that carry charges.
The hallmark service accommodates 96 callers at a time for up to 6 hours (long distance charges may apply) and you can use the service as often as you like. Each account also comes with free call recording, with easy online retrieval via a telephone or the web. Only the most recent call is stored so if you intend on archiving it you will have to login to your account and download it to your desktop before you record your next conference call or you will record over it.

- Free, dedicated phone number and access code

Pros
Easy to use free service that is available as often as you need it anytime, anywhere 24/7. This service is especially useful for getting together staff or clients that are in different locations for quick, impromptu meetings.
Cons
Maybe not the best choice for a sales presentation or product demonstration because it lacks the visual element offered by Glance (link to your series post) or Adobe ConnectNow (link to your series post), but great to use if you just need to clarify a detail or two to get a project or sale moving along.
