Not having meetings or conf calls might work for you but I would be very surprised if it works for your customers and/or peers (assuming you have any). If there is one thing I have learned it's that the quality of communication in a team usually makes or breaks the project. The quality of communication with a customer makes or breaks the relationship.

Our brains are hard-wired to respond to facial expression, tone of voice and body language. All of this is lost with computer-mediated communication channels.

Don't get me wrong, meetings for the sake of meetings are a waste of time but that's not to say that they do not have their place.
