However, conference calls today still are not very user-friendly. Often there is a long dial-in number that needs to be distributed beforehand either through email or another phone call. Then after dialing that number, the teleconference participant must enter a code or password in order to join the conference. This process can be tedious and annoying in everyday situations; in the event of an emergency, this type of delay could actually be dangerous.

The reservationless conference call is the answer to quickly setting up and participating in a teleconference with either a handful or dozens of other people. Not all mass notification companies offer the option of setting up an instant conference call, so it is important to make sure that the company you select offers this service. The notification company will contain the contact information of the organization’s members in its database, and when an administrator or other user sends out a message, they can select the option to connect that person to an on-demand conference call.

Imagine this situation: your company receives word that a natural disaster has occurred at or near one of its facilities. Management needs to be notified immediately to determine the details of the situation and to decide what course of action to take. How do you connect all of these people in the fastest way possible? You could contact all of them by phone individually, but this wastes valuable time in a critical situation. You can email them, but there is no guarantee they will see the email or realize the severity immediately.

The solution is an emergency notification service that has the ability to set up a reservationless conference call. Simply send out a message to your users, telling them that a critical situation has occurred. This message will be send over multiple modalities, including email, SMS text message to cell phones, and voice messages to cell phones, home phones, work phones, and BlackBerry PINs. The message will give the user the option to connect instantly to an on-demand conference call. In a matter of seconds, your whole team can be connected to a reservationless conference call, without all the hassle and waste of first setting up the conference, then notifying all of the participants of the dial-in number and the password, and then waiting for all the the participants to dial in and enter their passwords.

If you have been used to sending group emails, you may think that an email may also serve the purpose of communicating with many people simultaneously. An email also allows interaction between the communicating members. So what is the difference between telephone conferencing and emails other than the obvious fact that while phone conferencing you get to hear and speak to others? What makes a conference call better than a group email?

Both voice conferences and group emails have their advantages and disadvantages. Email is suitable when the discussion does not have a time constraint. Teleconferencing is better when several things have to be discussed and decisions have to be made quick. A conference bridge can host hundreds of people at the same time. So there is practically no restriction on the number of people you can teleconference with to ensure everybody’s view is considered.

Email discussions also allow certain people to be passive readers. They are just copied to keep them in the loop whereas the crux of the discussion is handled by just a few people. If all participating members have to be equally involved, a conference call is better than a group email.

Both call conferencing and group emails are accepted as effective means of communicating electronically. Conference calls these days can be made from anywhere; you need not be bound to your office desk next to a fixed line to dial into a teleconference. You can participate in a conference call even from your mobile phone. The access and mobility is therefore higher than that of an email. To read and respond to emails you need to have access to a connected computer or smart phone.

On a conference call, there is the advantage of emotional expression through the nuances of voice. It is easy to mistake the tone of Communication. Teleconference without writing hands. Are involved to facilitate fast, easy and natural to all participants.
