\nThere are no up-front or hidden costs. ECN makes this service available to everyone for free. There are no contracts, not subscription fees and no monthly costs to use this service.<\/li>\n
\nTo use the service you need to dial into the service using a telephone. So your service provider (Telkom, MTN, Vodacom, etc.) will bill you for your call, based on their call rates, just like they do for any other call you make. ECN subscribers will be billed R0.17\/minute, charged per second.<\/li>\n
\nECN hosts this service on its own national network infrastructure, so all you need is a telephone. Once again you save, because there are no installation costs, infrastructure costs or on-going maintenance costs.<\/li>\n
\nYes, you can just dial-in and use this service at any time. If you are not in possession of a PIN, you can follow the IVR prompts regarding a General Meeting, which is our quick and easy-to-use teleconferencing service. The PIN that is generated must be shared and used by all participants.<\/li>\n
\nThere is no limit to the number of participants that can join a conference call.<\/li>\n
\nThere is no limit to the duration of a conference call.<\/span><\/li>\n
\nAt present, conference calls are not recorded.<\/li>\n
\nAll participants need to record their name prior to entering the conference. As participants enter or leave the conference, an announcement is made to that effect i.e. “James has joined the conference” or “Jane has left the conference”.<\/li>\n
\nThere is no limit to the number of times you can use your PIN. Your PIN will automatically expire 6 months after last use. If you need a PIN after that just dial-in and generate a new PIN.<\/li>\n
\nAll PINs are randomly generated and there are no duplicates. Obviously the only people who are aware of your PIN are the participants that you share your PIN with.<\/li>\n
\nYou can simply dial-in again and generate a new PIN for a General Meeting.<\/li>\n
\nPressing the mute key on your phone while on a conference call means that we don’t receive “voice” signal from you, which appears to our system to be a call that has hung-up but not disconnected. There is a safety measure in place to ensure that when a user hangs-up, and our system possibly misses that hang-up, that the call is dropped automatically so that the user is not billed for an open-end call. Our voice team is currently working on a solution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
