If you have a lot of meetings with your home business, you might need a good way to coordinate communication with a number of people. One service that can help with that is Gotomeeting.com. This appears to be an interesting idea for setting up a teleconference. One of the nice things about it is that there is a video component over the Internet that allows for chatting and view presentations in addition to the audio. Home Biz Notes offers a good review of Gotomeeting.com.
But, of course, this service (which costs $49) may not be necessary for everyone. I do not often have a need for such meetings. But I do regularly make international calls. In such cases, I use Skype. It's extremely inexpensive, and if the other person has Skype, it is free.
If you are looking for more face-to-face home business meetings, but you do not have them often, it is possible to use Google Chat's video feature. You can even add multiple people to the chat — and it's free.
There are many online resources that can help your home business, without costing too much. And, even if you have to pay for a service, keep track and deduct it on your taxes.
