Presidential Campaigns Rack Up Millions of FreeConferenceCall.com Minutes During 2012 Campaign
President Obama and Governor Romney Communicate Internally and with Supporters through FreeConferenceCall.com's Innovative and Cost-effective Service
LONG BEACH, Calif. – December 12, 2012 – FreeConferenceCall.com received a vote of confidence from both Presidential campaigns in 2012: it was used by both for millions of minutes in conference calls.
