I have been using a fabulous new voice conferencing service for volunteer projects and select meetings at work for the past several months. Calliflower, offers free conference calling services. Looking for a quick way to get your project members on the phone? Check out Calliflower.

What does it offer? Why the plug?

Calliflower offers FREE conference call planning and execution. You can now get small or large groups of people on the phone for virtually ZERO cost. Its web interface lets you book a call in about one minute. Participants can use their plain old phones or the technology savy can call in via Skype other other Calliflower calling tools.

What else does it offer?

1) It sends the organizer and participants key SMS reminders, including notifications that callers are waiting for the organizer on the line. If you are running a tight schedule, there is nothing better then an instant reminder you can immediately dial from your phone. No more futzing around looking for call in numbers!

2) Call management control

You can now mute members of the call to dampen background noise. No more barking dogs!

In larger settings, muted participants can raise their hands through the web interface – just like in school
