Conference call using GoToMeeting

  • Current AT&T Global Teleconference Service is very costly (~$500/month)
  • gotomeeting.com appears to be similar to Bluejeans that AGR uses
  • At a much lower cost, $30/month subscription fee for 50 participants


Here's the toll-free option for GoToMeeting: https://www.gotomeeting.com/features/conference-call
