How do reservation-less audio conference calls work?
The beauty of the
reservation-less audio conference call is that it enables you to conduct your
conference call without making a reservation or using an operator. Consequently,
you are in charge of the conference schedule.
If your conference call participants are located outside of the U.S., we will
provide the appropriate international toll free access number(s).
In addition, you'll receive your PIN's.
1. The moderator receives a unique PIN
2. The conferees receive a PIN
All parties dial-in to your assigned toll free number at the designated
conference time you've announced to your participants.
Our automated system will answer and prompt parties to enter their PIN code,
followed by the pound (#) sign.
What will we hear during the conference call?
During the course of the
audio conference, you may hear beeps.
Entry/Exit Tones and Auto Hang up are standard features.Other feature3s are available as well.
A single beep indicates someone has joined the conference.
A double beep indicates someone has left the conference.
(this feature is "optional" and can be disabled)
Once the moderator disconnects from the audio conference, the entire call is
disconnected. (this is optional)

ConferenceBridge enhances conversation
With a professionally set
up audio conference call, each participants telephone line is routed
through
sophisticated equipment called a audio conferencing "bridge".This bridging equipment receives and
enhances each line, evening out the volume levels, and then sending the
electronic voice signal back out to each listener.
This process enables each conference call participant to sound just like
they
would in a regular telephone conversation. The process enables hundreds
of participants
to be connected in a single audio conference call at the same time with
uniform
call quality and sound clarity.
In order to achieve this, the participants first need to dial into the
bridge.
We provide you with a special dial-in telephone number and PIN's. You
distribute the dial-in number and PIN's to all intended participants.
At the pre-arranged date and time, all participants dial that phone
number and
are joined into the audio conference call.
