Any
Voipfone customer can use this service for free when calling
from the Voipfone network. Your colleagues and friends can
also join from any ordinary telephone anywhere in the world,
even if they are not a Voipfone customer.
You can hold a conference with any number of people to
last as long as you like, any time you like. In fact, you
can see it as a room that we built for you when you registered
with us, It’s always open for you and your guests to
walk into, anytime.
How
Much Does It
Cost?
It’s absolutely free to call the 0870 access number
for all Voipfone customers.
Callers using the ordinary telephone network will be charged
the standard 0870 rates, which for BT at the moment are between
1.5p/minute and 8p/minute depending on time of day. Calls
to 0870 from outside the UK will be charged at the providers
standard rates.
How
Do I Use It?
To set up your first conference, go to ‘My Account’ and
enter your user name and password. Click on ‘Allocated
Numbers’ where
you will see the Voipfone conference telephone number. Click
on ‘set PIN number’ and choose any 4 digit
number. That’s it; easy.
What's
Next?
To make a conference call once you’ve
set it up, tell your colleagues:
1: The time and date of your conference (you
can, in fact, enter your conference room at any time – it’s
just a lonely experience if you arrive an hour or a day early
:-)
2: The telephone number to call 0870 478
44 95 (To call from outside the UK dial 0044 870 478 44 95.)
3: The conference room number, which is your
Voipfone account number, (that’s the 300XXXXX number
that you were given when you first registered with us).
When you or your guests dial in to the number
the announcer will ask for your conference number followed
by the PIN; then you’re in. Talk for as long as you
like with as many people you can manage. We find 4-5 people
optimal but with good chairmanship many more can be accommodated.
