We offer free messaging with advertising, but the ads barely cover the cost of a one minute call. How do you make any money on say a 30 minute conference call with a handful of connected parties?<br><div><br>Alan<br></div>www.group2call.com<br><br>--- On <b>Mon, 8/18/08, | dave cantera | <i><david.cantera@iacnet.net></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">From: | dave cantera | <david.cantera@iacnet.net><br>Subject: Re: [asterisk-biz] Conference Services<br>To: "Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion" <asterisk-biz@lists.digium.com><br>Date: Monday, August 18, 2008, 12:46 AM<br><br><div id="yiv1913965327">

I offer a free conference calling service, I decide what the number
inbound is and I play my advertisement on the inbound calls. then I
give them a conference code and a conference PIN.<br>
if they want a custom or local DID, then they pay for that plus a
minute charge of $0.03 per inbound leg. advertisement on the inbound
calls if I can get it.<br>
