Can International Callers use Big River's Teleconferencing System?

Yes! A caller from an International location can dial 573.388.2001 and access the system. They will be prompted for the participant code and be let into the teleconference. The system will charge them 7 cents per minute for access. The caller will also pay the International rate associated with the telephone provider they use.

As the moderator, do I have to require everyone on the call to hang up and call back in when I switch from using my cell phone to my land line at my office?

No, you can hit the star key. When asked if you want to leave the call, just hit "1". The moderator can leave the call and it will stay up for the other participants. When you get to your office, you can dial the 800 number and use the participant code, which will reconnect you to the call.

If you would like Big River Telephone to spend a day at your location training individuals on how to use our Teleconference Platform just let us know.

We would be glad to spend the day showing users how easy the system is to manage. Call us at 1.800.455.1608 and ask for Ashley Robinson to get this arranged.
