Using the Out-Dial Feature with Your Conference Calls

Important: The out-dial feature is not automatically activated on new accounts. To activate it, wait until you receive the email confirmation of your new account, then fill out the International Outdial form and fax it to the toll free number listed on the form.

Out-dial is particularly useful when you want international participants to join your conference calls. It can save your organization a considerable amount of money and the participants can join the conference call without incurring any personal expense.

Out-dial is also used by many organizations when they need to bring a U.S. participant into a conference call that is already in session. It can be used as a courtesy to professionals; such as judges, when you need to temproarily bring them into a conference call.

Out-dial Instructions

The conference call moderator (or any other participant who has been granted out-dial permissions), can dial out to a participant.

This is done by first joining the conference bridge, then pressing *1 on their touch tone phone. The moderator is temporarily removed from the conference call and can dial out to another participant.

Once the moderator has the new participant on the line, they press *2 on their telephone keypad to return to the conference call with the new participant. If they wish to return to the conference call without the participant, they would press *3.

The process can be repeated as many times as necessary to get all the participants into the conference call.

Automate the Out-dial process

If you have participants that you outdial to on a regular basis, you can put them in a contact file to automate the out-dial procedure. Log into your on-line account, add contacts, and if you like you can put them into groups as well. Then it's just a click of the mouse during the conference call to get the AccuConference computer to dial out to the contacts you select and automatically join them to your conference call. Customer service reps are always on hand to help you get this process set up. You can even schedule calls and have the out-dial function automatically at a set time each week or month.

There are 26 other countries that you can out-dial to at the standard rate of 7.9¢ per minute.
