And although using ConferenceCall.co.uk to set up a conference call for up to 100 participants could hardly be easier, there’s always the possibility not everything will go to plan and some people might miss the call.

There’s more than one way to make a conference call, from video conferencing to straight up multi-participant phone calls, and more than one provider to choose from, but what you’ll find with many operators is they’ll either charge for the service, ask you to sign up with them, or both – this means they’ll then have access to your data and may even sell it on to third parties who will then bombard you with emails and phone calls for other services.
That’s not the case with ConferenceCall.co.uk – all you and your participants need to make a conference call to anywhere in the world is a landline or a mobile.
There’s no sign up. No fee to pay. And you can make great savings on the cost of conference calling to anywhere in the world.

But calls don’t always go without a hitch, and if you don’t properly prepare for the call in advance, it can soon descend into a series of awkward silences and participants talking over one another.
So, to help make sure each conference call you hold is completely fuss-free, follow our simple, step-by-step guide.
Brexit jargon-buster – from A to I is here
It’s been 119 weeks since we published the following paragraph, and Russian interference in the UK is still in the news and no deals of any note have been struck with the EU…
Brexit news seems to have been put on hold as the government deals with claims that its most senior officials may have jumped the gun in blaming Russia for the Salisbury poison attack, after UK experts claimed they can’t yet prove that the novichock nerve agent used actually came from Russia.
But Brexit is pushing on in the background, and it’s now just 51 weeks until the UK is set to leave the EU – so here is our second and final installment of our Brexit jargon-buster.
And it’s now been 31 weeks since the UK left the EU – we’re more than halfway through our transition period and still no clearer on what will happen come December 31 this year.
To help try and make sense of it all, here’s part two of our Brexit jargon-buster.
Panic over the coronavirus pandemic seems to be subsiding a little (whether that’s a good or bad thing is another conversation entirely), but just as business owners are licking their wounds following the impact of lockdown, so the next potential threat to business appears on the horizon – Brexit.
Regardless of whether you voted ‘leave’ or ‘remain’ back in 2016, it’s hard to disagree that the whole thing has been handled pretty badly from day one – so much so that the UK is now in the position where it will be leaving the EU on December 31 this year (when the 12-month transition period ends) and we’re still none the wiser about what exactly is going to happen.
It seems no trade deals have been agreed and everyone is still arguing in Brussels.
So we thought it was about time we updated our Brexit jargon-buster – here goes…
The coronavirus lockdown has revealed many things about they ways in which we work, while some have seamlessly adapted to the work from home life, others are struggling to cope without the day-to-day interactions of office-life.
And given that we all have to hold meetings remotely now, it’s also thrown up the following question – Why do some people find starting a conference call so difficult?
It should like any other meeting or telephone call, a quick introduction before launching into the main topics up for discussion, but instead we have stilted greetings, multiple introductions and excruciating silences.
So if you’ve ever wondered how to start a conference call, the following set of dos and don’ts will help you out…
Can you never find your conference call dial-in numbers?
Do you always start a conference call late, because you’re scrambling through piles of paperwork to look for your PIN?
Are you constantly having to check back online to see what function keys are needed to mute or record your conference call?
Then it’s time you got a ConferenceCall.co.uk Wallet Card.
