[nabs-l] Free Conference Call Services

Tue Jun 10 18:17:57 UTC 2014

Hi all,

As Chris said, we've had several people from other states call in to
OABS meetings, and our number is not local to Ohio either.  I know on
my own phone bill that I am not charged extra since long distance is
free, and I have not heard a complaint from any other guest or
division member so I take that as a sign that it isn't a problem.

I do not know the full details of the free conference calling web
site, as our cooresponding secretary was the one who set it up.  I'm
sure if you google it it will pop right up though as with any of these
other conference sites.  Independent research may also yield a result
none of us have mentioned thus far either.
