The conference parties can be inside or outside the telephone system. However, one party must be an internal extension number to maintain the conference connection for the duration of the conference. If you require outside assistance in setting up conference calls or need more than six parties connected, Wellesley College has a corporate teleconferencing plan available from Vialog Teleconferencing Services. The following types of calls are offered through Vialog. Participants incur their own long distance charges.
Participants dial a toll free number prior to the scheduled conference time.
They are prompted to enter a pre-assigned PIN code. They are then automatically placed into the call without operator assistance.
