I wish they explained what the actual issue/ FCC regulations were. The website's lack of information makes me feel suspicious

Termination fees, baby. Super sketchy all around, but AT&T probably has the better angle here: https://www.networkworld.com/article/2292108/fcc-referees-di...

Freeconference.com operates in questionable ethical areas, using high interconnection tariffs to fund its operations. Users are none the wiser, as it is the connecting telcos that get screwed.

Is it freeconference.com or freeconferencecall.com? The title says freeconference.com but the link has freeconferencecall.com

Are they the same? The sites don't look the same.

Is free conference call really free?

Don't they collect fees from the incoming call network? What's the real story?
