Ralph does not "speak" through the conch he blows it and makes a sort of booming Trumpet noise. Piggy tells him, "I knew a boy who had one of those, on his garden wall it was, and he could make a sound with it by blowing into it."
However, during one of the first meetings, Ralph was having trouble keeping control over the other boys. He decided that who ever has the conch in their possession will be the only one who can speak. Jack agrees with his decision, and it helps keep the meetings under control.

What is the importance of the conch in the opening of the story in Lord of the Flies?
The conch is important for a number of reason. When Ralph first spot the conch in the lagoon and retrieves it Piggy tells him what it is and gives him instructions on how to blow it. This demonstrates to Ralph that Piggy actually serves some purpose and has his uses, as up to that point Piggy had simply been an uninvited and unwanted intrusion on Ralph's enjoyment at finding himself on the island. The conch also serves as the practicle means by which Ralph calls the rest of the boys to the location. Once Ralph is elected leader he imstitutes rules for the meetings, which include holding the conch, giving the shell further, symbolic, importance.
What page does Piggy find the conch?
Piggy doesn't find the conch Ralph does. I quote... "What's that?" Ralph had stopped smiling and was pointing into the lagoon. Something creamy lay among the ferny weeds.
