DCalling Free Conference

Use DCalling to make worldwide conference calls with up to 25 participants. The participation in a telephone conference is completely free of charge. However, please consider the charges for calling the conference dial-in number (German or Austrian landline) by your provider. In case you or your conference participants have a flatrate/unlimited calling for German/Austrian landline, the conference dial-in number is also free of charge.

Setup for Simple Conference

Log in on www.dcalling.com and go to Conference > Add Conference. Here you can schedule a conference and see the conference dial-in number. After you have entered the time and date of your conference, DCalling assigns a conference number for you. Feel free to send your participants an email or a text message (9,9 Cent (EUR)/SMS) with the exact time and dial-in information for your conference. All your participants have to do is call the conference dial-in number. They will be welcomed by the DCalling system and asked for the number of your conference room.

You may also select “Permanent Conference” to create a permanent conference room to which you can connect anytime by entering the conference number.

You can set up 10 conferences as well as 1 permanent conference at the same time.

Invite participants during a conference

You can invite more participants at any point of time during a conference. Log in on DCalling, go to Conference > Current Conferences and click on the corresponding conference number. You can see a live illustration of your conference and the participants' phone numbers. At the bottom part of the page you can enter the phone numbers of further participants and make them join the conversation during the conference. Just click on the “Invite” button and DCalling will add the participants to the conversation as soon as they pick up their phone. The connection to the additional participants will be charged entirely from the conference holder's DCalling account. The price/minute corresponds to the destination of the  participants and can be viewed in your call history anytime.

At Conference > Current Conferences you can also view and edit information on past and future conferences, i.e. conference names, numbers, as well as start and end dates.
