Conference Calling

Below are the methods for establishing audio conference calls:

  • For individuals needing six or fewer people for an audio conference call, use any University digital or VOIP phone at no additional cost.
  • For individuals needing support for larger audio conferencing groups, a service will be provided through AT&T.

The advantages of transitioning from the internal service are that up to six party audio conferences can now be supported using a digital phone and your large audio conference needs can be supported by using the AT&T audio conference service.

Using these options for audio conferencing will give you greater flexibility for your departments since you can use the digital phones and AT&T service at your convenience.

We recommend that you have your Departmental Telephone Representatives (DTR) coordinate ordering an AT&T audio conferencing bridge for your department and have them coordinate the usage of this service. There are no limits to the number of lines a department can order. You can currently use your digital telephone for audio conference bridges for six or less at no additional cost. The AT&T service is billed at 2.9 cents per minute per user, but is a very reasonable cost for this service.
