Hope I've posted this in the right forum.

I'm looking to some of you road warriors for advice/recommendations on using a teleconferencing or webinar company.

I'm launching a new venture and need a reliable company. I've been on teleconferencing calls with some of my associates and sometimes experience being cut off and an automatic voice coming on telling me how to use the prompts. This is something I want to avoid.

Apologies if this doesn't belong here.

Thanks in advance.

How many people do you need to teleconference with at once?

Skype seems to do the job if you have a few people to talk to at once.

I think Skype only allows five people at a time, so that's not an option. Also I've looked all over their website(s) to verify if this is accurate as it is mentioned in the Apple OSX info, but since they are promoting themselves as a business tool I can't imagine that five is the max.

But I am finding it hard to get confirmation on this. And I need to speak to a real person in case there are technical problems, which I'm not finding via Skype.

Even iChat permits 10 people on voice chatting. Are you sure the limit for Skype isn't for video conferencing?

Good points.

I'll re-check Skype--but it's essential that it works and there are no technical issues.

Thanks.
