You can set up a conference call with people in multiple areas.
AT&T offers a service called AT&T Connect for online and phone conferences. In order to use the service, you must be a registered user. There is no monthly service charge, however, there is a usage charge of 8.5 cents for each attendee on the phone conference. AT&T has made the process simple for scheduling or starting a phone conference. You can set up professional phone conferences for your entire organization.
