I've been searching, but the words
conference and
bridge are way too popular for other reasons, so I'll just ask:
I'm trying to find the most inexpensive way to setup a conference bridge for 4-5 callers. Since I have an Obi, with 2 Google Voice numbers, I thought this might be the best choice. So far, the best answer I've deemed is:
Using SP1/GV1, According to Google I can get 4 callers with these steps
- Have Caller1 dial GV1, and get answered
- Have Caller2 dial GV1, I Flash-Hook and hit 5 to bridge them in
- Have Caller3 dial GV1, I Flash-Hook and hit 5 to bridge them in
- Have Caller4 dial GV1, I Flash-Hook and hit 5 to bridge them in
I'm just curious if there is a way to expand beyond this, not to mention if I'm too slow with the Flash/5 the caller is sent to voice mail but the call appearance is still hanging on. The only way to recover seems to be tearing down the entire call and starting over, not very professional looking to the callers.
Or maybe I should just be looking for economical conference bridge services?
