    The participant should make sure to call from a good quality phone, and should make sure

    to keep any background noise to an absolute minimum. If this does not help, the

    participant should hang up and reattempt a connection into the conference.

    What happens if a participant calls into a conference before the moderator?

    Depending on the preferences of the moderator, three different outcomes can occur. One,

    the participant may be prompted to hang up and call back at a later time. Two, theparticipant may be placed on hold until the moderator arrives, at which point the

    participant is placed into the conference. Lastly, the participant may be placed directly

    into the conference without having to wait for the moderator.

    Does the number of participants affect the quality of the conference call?

    As the number of participants increases, so the does the probability of unintended

    participant error. Issues may arise, such as background noise, un-muted lines, and the

    type of phone used can affect the quality of the conference call.

    Can calling cards be used to dial into a conference call?

    Yes, calling cards can be used to dial into a conference call. Enter the calling card phone

    number, input the cards pass code, and then dial the conference number provided to you

    by the Moderator. Depending on the calling card used, you may have to pay a fee

    (normally deducted as minutes from your card) for calls made from a payphone.
