Can someone help me understand PSTN Conferencing?
Yes PSTN conferenceing would work as a replacement for your setup.
Only the meeting organiser needs an e5
The only costs you should incure will be if you assign a toll free number

Also an extra cost may be incurred if you go over the minutes bucket which is combined/shared amongst all the license you have. It is all given in the Service Description.
What is really nice is the ability to call out to other phones. It sort of a way for PSTN call out if you do not need DID too.

Thank you Erdem and Richard! These are both very helpful replies. One thing I can't seem to find information about though is the cost for assigning a toll free number. Is this information available somewhere? Thanks!

Thanks. Sorry for the amateur questions! I hope this is my last one... :-) in looking at the table, it looks like Toll Free for Tenants in the United States is $.013 per minute. Is this $.013 for each caller using the line? Thanks!
- Richard JennerJan 12, 2017Brass ContributorYes each person calling in using the toll free number would pay the per minute charge so 5 people call in using it you would have 5 call charges.

You do not get charged for a toll free number only it's use.
