Answers



I need quality phone connections. How is the call quality? back to top
We do not use VOIP. Every call uses state-of-the-art digital technology ensuring clear connections on each and every call.



How long does it take to set up an account? back to top
Just apply online and within seconds your account is set up. Minutes later, you will receive a Welcome Email with all of your account information, including access number, PINs and instructions. The instructions are simple: Dial access number and then enter PIN. Remember, every account starts with a 30 day free trial..



Do I need to schedule my conference? back to top
No. Your PIN is your unique PIN. BrandXCalling.com allows you to make as many conference calls as you like whenever you like. No need to reserve a conference time.



How much does it cost? back to top
Just $19.97 per month for unlimited conference calling. Keep in mind, if the access number is long distance for you, then your phone company may charge you long distance charges.



Are there any hidden costs involved for this service? back to top

Will more participants degrade the sound quality of a conference? back to top
No. The number of people on a call does not impact the quality of the call at all. 

Sometimes I hear an echo. What can I do about it? back to top
There are several possibilities as to the cause of echoing.
Having multiple phones dialed into your conference in the same room or general area;
Using a speaker phone not specifically made for conferencing can create an echoing effect;
On very rare occasions, having multiple cell phones dialed into your conference can cause echoes;
Getting a bad connection from your phone to our conference bridge may cause echoing;  In the majority of cases, hanging up and dialing in again will resolve echoing. If that does not resolve the issue, contact customer service and they will be happy to trouble-shoot for you

Does my access number and PIN stay the same with each call? back to top
Yes. You always use the same access number and PIN. This is just one of the ways we have designed the system so that you do not have to reserve a conference call.
