How to Get Free Conference Call Services
1. Define what your conference call needs are. Will all participants in the free conference call be telephoning from a continental United States number? How much advance notice do you need to set up a conference call? Do you want a free conference call service that enables you to begin a conference call on short notice?
2. Explore your free conference call services options. One of the best ways to do this quickly is to type “free conference call setup” into a search engine and review several of the options that appear. Some of the descriptions included in the search engine descriptors will tell you if a particular free conference calling service is the right match for you.
3. Check up on the free conference call service. Type the name of the free conference call service that you are considering into a search engine and read over what information is returned. If you see a lot of people writing about being displeased with that particular service, then you might want to consider using another free conference call service.
4. Ask which free conference call service your peers recommend. My partners and I have been very pleased with Basement Ventures. (The link is provided in the resources section.) We have been using it for a long time, and we have never had to pay any type of hidden fee.
5. Follow the directions provided on the free conference call service’s website. Once you select a free conference call service, you need to set up your account. Most free conference call services will let you do this from the website.
6. Save the information that the free conference call service provides. You will be given a dial-in number, which is the phone number that all participants will dial. All participants will also need the bridge number, which tells the free conference call service which people are calling for which particular conference. You will also need the moderator number, which is the number you will punch in to begin the conference call.
7. Hold a conference call. As the moderator, you should sign in about 10 minutes early. You will dial the dial-in number. When the phone connects, enter the bridge number and then the moderator number. As each participant arrives, you will hear a chime letting you know that somebody has joined the conference call.
How to Find a Name to Match a Phone Number
1. Point your web browser to your favorite people search website. Examples of legitimate, no-cost people finders include WhitePages, Yahoo! People Search and WhoWhere?. For a more extensive listing of people finder websites, search under the term 'people finder.' Some of these sites such as Spokeo dig up additional information on the person from his activity around the web including social networking sites, blogs, pictures and videos he has recently posted.
2. In the Reverse Phone Number field, type the phone number for which you would like to obtain a name. 'Reverse' simply means you are searching for someone based on their telephone number rather than their full name; the opposite of how you would normally search for someone.
3. Click Find or Search (depending on the website you are using). If the telephone number is not blocked in any way, the person's name appears in a list or by itself.
4. If you would like additional information on the person, click their name to be redirected to a third-party website. Be aware that you will have to pay a fee for any additional data.
How to Get Funny Jokes for a Cell Phone
1. Look online for a joke provider such as SendMeMobile.com that has applications for cell phones.
2. Decide on the types of jokes you want to have sent to your cell phone.
3. Subscribe to a specific joke package. Most joke providers charge a fee for the jokes sent to your phone. Although rates can vary, they are usually in the range of about 15 cents to 50 cents per joke or $5 to $10 for a monthly subscription.
4. Submit your cell phone number to the joke provider.
5. Choose a payment method. Many joke providers give you the option of either paying with a credit card or having the charges added to your monthly cell phone bill. Once payment is approved, the jokes can be sent to your cell phone daily or at your request depending on the package you select.
