No Account Set Up With New Easy To Use Conferencing Service Email and SMS Reminders With New YAC Service

23rd October 2000 - The audio conferencing market is set for a shake up as YAC, the unified communications company with over 250,000 subscribers, has launched YAC Conferencing, an audio conferencing service that can be booked online, up to 15 minutes before the call needs to begin, with no lengthy account set up procedure or time consuming credit checks.

In the past booking a conference call has had the perception of being complicated and costly. Those who book a conference call have had to pay high set up costs and the amount of administration and support required to set up calls is also high due to the complex requirements put in place by existing UK service providers. With YAC Conferencing there are absolutely no conference call set up costs, the cost of the call is distributed amongst participants and paid for by each caller and charged according to their own tariffs.

YAC Conferencing gives users a quick and easy way to set up a conference call. Calls can be booked 24 hours a day online at www.yac.com in three easy to follow steps or via YAC Support on 07092 001000.

The conference booker receives a confirmation email and can arrange for a reminder email to be sent to participants, with all the details of the call. The time of reminder emails can also be chosen. For the first time ever, conference participants entering the call via a mobile phone can also receive an SMS message.

Mike Feerick, CEO of YAC said: "Face-to-face meetings have become expensive and to a certain extent a luxury in terms of time and cost. YAC Conferencing is a standalone service that will bring the reliability and simplicity of YAC to audio conferencing. For any business it is vitally important to have a robust and cost effective conferencing service and with no set up costs and instant access we are giving users a great alternative to the less flexible, higher cost conferencing options the market has become used to. The time saving benefits can be a great boon for a company."

Call lengths can be booked in 30 minute slots and during the last five minutes of each call participants are asked if they would like to extend the call by another 30 minutes. Subscribers to the YAC Number service do not need to register before booking a conference, all YAC Subscribers just enter their YAC Number and password, click login and start using YAC Conferencing. YAC Subscribers can also check their conferences online. Non-subscribers to the YAC Service need only fill out a very short registration page before booking their first conference - so you don't even need a YAC Number to use YAC Conferencing.
