Frequently asked questions - Tariffs


Question

Are free teleconferencing service providers really free of charge?

Answer

Some teleconference providers state that they offer "free" conference calling. An example is Powwownow.

In the Netherlands for example they use 084 or 087-numbers. These numbers look like a normal local number. In reality these are so called "Personal numbers" with a premium rate of 15 eurocent per minute. Premium rate numbers in the Netherlands normally start with 090. This usage of personal numbers is illegal.

NewConference is always fair and open about their tariffs. We don't want to surprise users (chairpersons and participants) with unexpected costs. If you compare our tariffs you will find out that newConference is less expensive than Powwownow.
