STANDARD EXCHANGE MEET-ME
The Standard Exchange Meet-Me program works
essentially the same as the 1-800-Meet-Me Service,
except that you elect to have the conference
participants pay for the long distance charge from
their location to the conference center. You distribute
to all participants the date and time of the
conference. Callers call in at the appointed time, are
connected to the appropriate channel, i.e.; live or
listen-only mode, and then the organizer is billed at
only 19 cents per minute, per participant.
With all of these services, the sound quality is
exceptional, because the bridging work is done at a
central location. Therefore, the customers do not lose
sound quality which is a problem if attempting to
conduct conference calls using in-house telephone
systems. And because of this feature, the audio tape
records equal sound quality from all connections.
Any of these services can be set up on a secured
or unsecured basis. If unsecured, the entire
conference is monitored by an operator so as to be able
to reconnect any callers who are lost or deal with any
instructions that the chairperson elects to give to the
operator. For example, suppose through the course of a
conference one of the participants suggests that Joe,
in San Francisco, should be brought on line
immediately. The operator will not need any further
instructions other than the phone number and the call
will be placed to Joe and he'll be immediately placed
on the system.
If however, you elect a secured line, then there
is no audio monitoring, but the above scenario can
still be accomplished because it's as simple as
pressing "0" on the touch tone pad and the conference
operator will be immediately signalled to pick up the
phone and ask what can be done to help the chairperson.
This feature allows for reconnecting someone who has a
bad line, or who somehow dropped out of the system and
needs to be reconnected, or adding new callers.
To arrange any of these services, simply call the
BNC tele-conferencing center at 1-800-929-1700 and give
the control number 48AD-0000.
You may find that using tele-conferencing is a
profitable business in itself, even if you don't get
involved in long distance reselling.
