MTU Meet-Me Telephone Conferencing
 
 

Overview/Description

The MTU Telecommunications provides a Meet-Me Telephone Conferencing service for all MTU staff, faculty, and students. This service allows as many as 26 people to be connected on a single conference call. Callers can enter the conference using a MTU telephone number or, if long distance, an 888 number.

If you want to use this service you must schedule the conference with Telcom at least 48 hours in advance.

How It Works

A MTU telephone number is assigned to the conference call and is directed to a 26 port conference bridge. When the first person calls the conference bridge, it will continue to ring until the second person calls and the two are connected. As each person calls in, they are automatically added to the conference.

The people who have already joined the conference will hear a tone to indicate that another person has been added. They will also hear a tone if an individual chooses to leave the conference.

Cost

There is a $15.00 service fee for each conference and a 15 cents per minute usage charge per attendee calling the 888 number. The 888 access is only from within the US, Canada and Mexico. As an example, the cost of a 30 minute conference call with 10 people - 6 calling locally, 2 calling from California and 2 calling from Detroit would be:

One-time charge
$15.00
800 access CA - (2)(30)(.15)
$9.00
800 access MI - (2)(30)(.15)
$9.00
Total
$33.00
