Teleconferencing services

I actually had difficulty getting phone numbers in a timely manner for a couple of the major carriers, so I resorted to dialing PIC/CIC codes + 0 so I could ask an operator of the carrier in question.

I've listed the rates here for the major carriers, because I researched them, but I've decided to use GlobalConference.com The rates were very good, the online management console thought out well, and the line-quality was good. A one hour conference with 7 people cost me $20.
