Conference Call Types

Automated Meet Me (including DEMAND): Service is established when conference participants dial the conferencing bridge via a toll or toll-free number and enter a valid 4-digit PIN code. This option is the most convenient and economical for conference customers. DEMAND conferencing includes the added benefit of reservationless, always-available conference call accounts. Dedicated PIN(s) are provided for each host within the organization.

Operator Assisted Meet Me: Instead of entering a PIN code, participants are greeted by a live operator and placed into the appropriate conference call. End-user billing will include participant names.

Operator Dial Out: Conference call is initiated when the operator places outbound calls to all pre-determined participants and each is joined to the conference.
