How is this
a free call, is it a limited time offer?
|
| |
|
The conference calls are subsidized by
telephone companies, so we offer conference calling at no
cost to you and it will always be at no cost. The only cost
will be normal long distant rates. Participants can use
long distance or prepaid calling cards. We do offer 800
numbers at a low cost.

I'm just curious.....how is this business
profitable for you if there is no cost incurred by anyone
who uses this service?
|
| |
|
The conference calls are subsidized by
telephone companies, however the people's phone rate doesn't
increase
|
| |

| |
If I can
get conference calling for free, why would I buy an 800
service?
|
| |
|
So your guests do not have a long distance
calling charge on their phone bill. By having an 800 number
for guests to use, you the host will take the burden of
long distance fees from your participants.

only)

Are there
a maximum number of callers per conference?
|
| |
| 250 callers can be on a conference call at
one time with the option to increase the limit when it is
necessary. |

| |
What measures have been taken to ensure
that enough lines are available for our call when a reservation
is not needed? My concern is that what if in addition to
our call, there's other users with large calls and everyone
is trying to access the conference bridge at the same time
|
| |
|
We monitor the conference calls daily.
If we reach 80% capacity we start reassigning conferences.
This does not affect your call flow and you would not notice
any changes. Rest assured we are always working on increasing
our capacity.
|

| |
Is there
a time limit for the length of our conference calls?
|
| |
|
No, there is no time limit and there is
no limit to the times you can use it per month.
|
| |

| |
Can participants
in the conference access the conference outside of the country?
|
| |
|
Yes, anyone with a telephone can reach
our conferences but of course will incur the long distant
rate.
|
| |
| back

| |
Can callers
enter the conference at any time?
|
| |
|
Yes, participants can enter and leave at
any time with the dial-in number and access code.
|
| |
| back

| |
Do you have
the ability to let me set up recurring weekly or monthly
scheduled conferences?
|
| |
|
Yes, the dial-in number and access code
will be the same. You will be able to add and delete
participants in the conference in the contacts page.
|

| |
How long
does it take to set up a conference?
|
| |
|
If you want a Conference Id number etc.
designed specifically for you, then we can have it set up
for you within 48 hours after we have that information.
You have to contact us for that.
In the future, Conferences can be set up in real-time. You
will be able to have an instant conference
|

| |
Do we have
to have email to participate in a conference call?
|
| |
|
No, the host of the conference can provide
the members away from their computers or without email with
the date and time of the conference and then the phone number
and access code.

| |
How safe
are our email address in our contacts? Will they be
sold or made available to others?
|
| |
|
We at Midwest Conference Line value your
privacy and our relationship with our clients. We will never
sell or share your email address with anyone.

Do you
offer recording on conference calls?
|
| |
|
Yes, we provide free recording, access,
and downloads* of your recordings
for up to 30 days. When you choose to record your call you
will receive a six digit pin number that will allow you
to access your recording by phone any time during the 30
days.
|
| |
| *free
downloads are available with the Midwest Conference Call with
Web Control. Your recordings are stored in mp3 format so that
you can email them to other associates that could not attend
your conference. |

| |
Can we
record personal greetings?
|
| |
|
If you wish to have a personal greeting
recorded contact us. It requires certain amount of minutes
used per month in order to make it financially feasible.
It is something we do encourage for larger corporations.

Why does it says that my pin number
is invalid when I attempt to enter my pin number?
|
| |
|
First make sure you are entering the correct
pin and dial it slowly. It makes sense, however it is the
most common mistake. If you have a question about you pin
code you can email us midwestconferenceonline.com

Your site is not clear on what a "moderator"
pays to use the service. I understand it would be free for
our participants, but what about us? Are there any costs
incurred by the moderator, or person who hosts the call?
|
| |
|
There are no costs incurred by the moderator(s),
the host(s) and the participants because the conference
calls are subsidized by telephone companies.
|
| |
| back
to top |
| |
I see the calls can be recorded. What
file types are provided for the recording?
|
| |
|
Currently the file types are Wav files
and in the future we will be offering MP3 files.
|
| |
| back
to top |
| |
How do we access the recorded files?
|
| |
|
Currently via the Web.

With your service you can remove nuisance
lines or mute lines from the web. Is this something the
call operator handles, or the moderator?
|
| |
|
We (The Call Operator) would be blocking
the nuisance phone numbers for you and you as the moderator
would be muting the line(s) on the Web.
|
| |
| back
to top |
| |
If the moderator picks out the nuisance
lines, what indications are given so you can easily tell
which lines are causing the distractions?
|
| |
|
You can pick out who the nuisance caller(s)
by who is active on the call via the Web

| |
Obviously a free service is always better
than having to pay for a service, but what I'm not clear
on is if there are any costs I should expect to see once
we get started?
|
| |
|
You WILL NOT incur any costs once you get
started except for your regular phone call.
|
| |
| back

| |
In addition to just the basics of what
you offer, are there any costs for any additional services?
|
| |
|
We have voicemail boxes and information
lines for $25/year and if you get three of them, then the
last one is free.

How much does a conference call cost?
I don't see a place that lists pricing?

What if our families, friends and/or
our business associates are spread out in several communities
and we would like to talk with them all at one time? How
would Midwest Conference Line help us to overcome that obstacle!
|
| |
|
Here is what the procedure is: First you
would send us your choice of what you want for a Conference
Id (access code), Moderator pin number, Username and Password
for your account and after everything is set up you would
then use it as your Conference Call Center (bridge) for
your business calls with all your associates and/or your
prospecting call when you prospect for more associates etc.
This would be at no cost to you or to any of your people
except for your regular phone call and/or your people's
regular phone call because the conference line is subsidized
by telephone companies.

What a great idea to have a conference
system like this but I wouldn't know how to use it?
|
| |
|
First, you choose the Conference Id, then
your Moderator pin number. Then you would tell all your
people to call a phone number (that we have set up) and
use your Conference Id. That way you could talk with each
other all at once. In order so no one else gets control
of that Conference Id number, you shouldn't give out your
Moderator pin number.

Hi. My friend with a Net-Working Company
told me today about the conference line she was able to
get through your company. I would be interested in acquiring
one for our team and downline. Could you provide me some
info?
|
| |
|
Yes, we sure can!!
|

This Conferencing System looks pretty
interesting. Perhaps it would be something we could use
for our dealer network conference calls.
|
| |
|
You bet, I think so too!

How can Midwest Conference Line set
this up and offer it for free ?
|
| |
|
Because the conference line is subsidized
by telephone companies, it is totally free for you to use
except for your regular phone call.

One thing I want to make sure of, is
this - Are you saying that my conference calls can last
one hour or two hours or three hours. Actually, my calls
last 10 minutes with Q & A after that, but I just wanted
to know.
|
| |
|
There is no time limit.
|
| |

You're saying this is free to use, other
than the cost of the long distance call each person on the
call has?
|
| |

Yes.

Does it work like other conference lines
I have used, just dial in and use a pin number to get to
the conference call?
|
| |
|
Yes. The Moderator has a different pin
number than what the other participants would use to access
the Conference call (if he desires it that way). The Moderator
can choose both pin numbers, if those numbers are not chosen
already.

Can I use the line any time I want during
the day for 3 daily conf calls?

Yes

How long can the conf call last?
|
| |
|
24/7. You can shut down the conference
call anytime.

Tell me what it would take to set up
a conference line for our family. We are scattered over
9 states I believe. Our internet phone works good most of
the time and only costs $30 per month unlimited states calling
even though we are in Nicaragua.
|
| |
|
All I need from you is the Conference Id
number that you want, the Moderator pin number that you
want, and your contact information. The numbers should be
6-7 digits long.
