Easy to get started
Create an account online and be meeting within 5 minutes.
To hold a conference call, everyone dials into one of our telephone numbers and enters a PIN, it’s that simple!
I want to pay for my callers’ telephone charges
When you create an account, we’ll send you a list of telephone numbers.
Most callers in Australia dial our 1800 number, this means your callers can join the meeting free (you will be paying their telephone call costs). This is the most popular way of joining a conference call.
We also have telephone numbers in over 42 countries so that your overseas participants can join your conference call without paying the international call charges.
Free recording
Record your conference call at no cost and download the recording minutes later.
It’s great for taking notes or should anybody miss the live conference call.
Mobile phones
Mobile phone users sometimes have difficulty joining conference calls because the PIN is distorted by poor phone line quality.
HotAir is the only conference call company in Australia that helps callers that can’t enter their PIN. This means there is no longer a reason for your mobile participants to not take part in every conference call.
Sound quality
Using high quality business grade telephone lines (not the internet) is the only way to be sure the sound quality will always be fantastic.
International conference call experts
It’s easy for your international folk to join your meetings with more international numbers than any other Australian conferencing company, and what’s more they are more reliable because we test them constantly!
Telephone numbers in 42 countries
Guaranteed to work every time
HotAir is the only conference call company in Australia with a meeting quality guarantee.
If your meeting does not go ahead or is compromised because of something controlled by us there is no charge for that meeting.

Over 7,500 Happy Clients
How am I charged for a conference call?
Meetings are charged per line per second, unlike other conference call providers we do not round up the the next minute.
The more lines connected or the longer the meeting, the more it will cost.
Refreshingly for a telecommunications company, there are no sneaky hidden charges, no monthly fees, flag falls nor minimums, you only pay for what you use.
There is also no surcharge if paying by credit card.
How do HotAir’s prices compare?
A failed conference call is embarrassing and very expensive (if you include the costs of the people involved and how long it might take to get them all back together again).
HotAir’s service is focussed on providing a service with consistently great sound.
Our pricing is half of Telstra’s but will never compare with services that focus purely on price. For most organisations, using a cheap conferencing service is actually the most expensive choice. That’s why so many of our clients have come to HotAir because they need a service that works every time.
What does a typical conference call cost?
If you had five lines calling the 1800 number for a 30 minute conference call, the cost would be:
5 lines x 30 minutes x $0.25 = $37.50 excluding GST. With GST = $41.25
Calls to 1800 numbers are free from landlines and most mobile phones.
We offer cheaper rates out of business hours and to “not for profit” and governmental organisations. Contact us for further information.
Itemised invoices
Invoices show every line in every conference call; the time they connected, the duration of the connection and the cost.
If you have more than one user/meeting facility (conference room), all costs are summarised separately.
