Free Conference Cal‪l‬ 4+

I have used FCC for many years. I have been satisfied with their service. In the past year-two I did comparisons against other free services. FCC won. I just decided to donate for their service. They a very humanitarian model: pay what you can. I value and appreciate this. Why only 3 stars? The app is confusing. The recorded meeting audio quality is less than good. While in the call, participants are happy, but the recordings don’t serve my purposes at all. I’ll need to invest in a portable recorder to capture audio that I can actually use.

works well but the app wanted to make actual calls (charging minutes) instead of using wi-fi. Turns out you have to hold the "join" button to see a popup menu that allows you to choose between regular call and internet call.

Also, during the call, there should be a "keep screen alive" function. I hate when my screen turns off and I need to say something (but first have to turn off mute) which means unlocking phone, going back to app, hitting unmute. and in those few seconds, everyone asks if you've dropped or if you're still there, or thinks you're just stupid and don't know how to use your phone....

I downloaded the app over a year ago. But I used FCC for the first time last week. Needed to have an emergency Board mtg. at church. This was the only way we could handle the necessary business immediately.

So after I got over my fear of trying something new, I went to it. The FCC website has a wonderful “How To”
article that walks you through the process. It details a number of scenarios. I highly recommend that you take a look at it and even download it to your reading list.

It took me about 30 minutes to read through the article. Most of that time was me building up my confidence.

Once I started in fifteen minutes my Conf. Call was scheduled.

The meeting went great. My board loved it.

And here’s the best part. Everything was ACTUALLY free.

I’m getting ready to schedule my second FCC. The second of many.

I absolutely recommend this app for novices and experienced users alike.
