If you can’t listen to a company’s conference call at its schedule time, is there a way to listen to it later?
Hi there!
The short answer is, yes.
Better answer. If the company conference call has been recorded either by the conference calling companies at the request of the people holding the teleconference or by someone else who recorded the call themselves, you can certainly listen to it later as long as it is made available publicly or throughout the workplace.
Many corporate conference calls are recorded as requested by the company to be placed on a website, in their archives, or simply in an audio file that the company keeps for their records.
Now… if you were “supposed” to be on a conference call and missed it, uh-oh!
Here’s a way to eliminate the problem of a conference time not being convenient. If you simply can’t make a conference call but the information on the call is important for you to hear, try this.
WARNING: You’ll Need 3-Way Calling on your Phone
1. Get a free conference call number. Some of the free conference call companies have their system set up where you can record a conference call. In fact, plenty of them have this setup. It really is free!
2. Right before the scheduled meeting, call into your conference line.
3. Start recording the call from the web interface the conference calling company supplies.
4. Call into the conference line where the actual meeting call is being held.
5. Mute your phone.
6. Keep your phone connected to both the meeting line and the free conference call line.
Walk away 
The call should be recorded and available through the web interface from your conference calling company. Don’t forget to hang up the phone.
Hope this helps you!
Love,

P.S. Here’s a nice short list of tips from the ConferenceCall.com folks. It covers my main irk when listening to conference calls.
From Their Blog :: Nix the speaker – When it’s your turn to speak on a conference call, make sure you pick up the handset or use a headset. Speaker phones can be responsible for feedback and static. Background noise disrupts the meeting for everyone and may prevent other participants from hearing the information they need. It also makes it hard for you to hear with other people are speaking and you end up talking over them. [it's a good article! you should read it if you're on or give conference calls.
