This service is completely automated. Entry is quick & uncomplicated. No operator is present during the conference. Automated Call Entry Lines open 15 minutes early. Callers dial the assigned toll-free number and at the voice prompt they enter their specified passcode. If the passcode is valid, they will then be transferred into the automated interactive 'LIVE' call.

So if you don't hear anything after you connect, this is normal, and means the system is working correctly! |
