Powwownow phone conferencing teams up with Skype

Fast growing international conference call provider Powwownow has partnered up with Skype to launch the first link up of its kind in Europe.

Skype is a free Voip (voice over internet protocol) solution which facilitates free conference calls across the internet. Powwownow is the only European conference call provider to offer SkypeOut dial in into its conference calls, thus opening up Worldwide access to conference calls for hughly reduced costs.

Andrew Pearce, Joint CEO of Powwownow comments: "This is a great opportunity for all its Powwownow users. They are able to benefit from a lower dial-in rate and can access it from wherever they are in the world. We are happy to be the first European teleconference company in the UK to offer this unique service to our customers, achieving our endeavor to provide the lowest rate possible to our users, in the simplest, most effective way possible."

The service is now available for Open Access, Enhanced Access and Premium Access customers. Powwownow's innovative service centres around a simple dial-up where each invited participant calls a number and, using a PIN, joins the private audio conference. There are no bills for organisers, no contracts and each participant simply pays for their own call. The conference service is immediate, with no need to book, no registration and no conference service charge.
