"1. A line that has people announce themselves rather than a ping upon entering the call2. Announce time coming to end (your conference call has 5 minutes remaining, do you want to extend?)3. A dedicated conference phone number4. Set fee per month rather than price/minute5. Phone line can handle 20+ participants6. Not necessary to be toll-free."

"The ability to dial-in and listen to the playback recording - the recordings need to be available for a minimum of 18 days.I checked off "Unsure" under question 4 because we do not require a toll-free number since all of our participants are responsible for their own long distance charges.It may be beneficial to speak with a sales representative directly and if you will send me an email I will be able to schedule a time for a call."
