I'm working on a project to find out the most cost effective and reliable way to connect a remote user with a group of individuals in a live meeting. At the moment I'm not too concerned about utilizing video. I just need a way for everyone to hear and understand each other. I'm thinking that Skype might be the best way, but that I believe requires the use of a computer. I would like to eliminate the use of an extra computer if I could since that might compromise the reliability I am seeking. Is there a good voip service besides Skype which I could use? Also, I would need to have a speakerphone that would be compatible with whatever service I use.
