Bell Audio Conferencing Solutions
Effective Oct. 1st, 2010 we now have a contract for audio teleconferencing services from Bell. There will be cost savings to TRU, so this will be our primary provider.
Bell Reservationless Conferencing at your fingertips!
This pay-per-use service is the ideal way to conduct a conference call whenever you want - without having to book your call in advance. Just use your dedicated Dial-in numbers, unique Conference ID and private Moderator PIN anytime you want to conduct a call. No reservation is required once the subscription has been set-up. This is ideal for regular, frequent or last-minute meetings and available 24/7. Plus, a selection of Star-Touch features can be activated and de-activated easily using your Touch-Tone phone.
Each Faculty/Department has been assigned with an account moderator – generally this will be your divisional secretary or assistant. They will provide you with the information to provide to your participants.
