How to set up a conference call between Dubai and UK

There are around 120,000 UK residents in the UAE, meaning expats make up the majority of the population. And of the 13 million people visiting the UAE in 2013, 1 million were from the UK.

So there’s definitely business to be done in Dubai – and if you’re thinking of exporting you’ll need a reliable, easy to use and cost-effective international conference call provider.

Here’s how to set up a conference call in just a few simple steps…
