Skype conference software: All you need to use a VoIP software is a computer, PC microphone and speakers, or a PC headset. You will also obviously need a broadband connection, as the calls of many providers are information-heavy, requiring a lot of bandwidth. Skype has even recently added a Chat feature into the basic software. You can thus also textually converse while you are talking. The Skype conference software will let you invite up to 48 people to join in and make it a group chat.

Vonage conference software: Vonage also helps you make international conference calls. The software from this company allows you to engage in conference calls via the ‘3-Way Calling’ feature. ‘3-Way Calling’ lets you can connect with 2 other parties at the same time. Thus, 3 people are able to talk at once. For billing purposes, Vonage treats a ‘3-Way Call’ as 2 separate calls that happen at the same time. Setting up the ‘3-Way Calling’ system is quite easy.
