AT&T Teleconferencing (Reservationless Conferencing)

NOTE: Please read the following in its entirety before setting up a Teleconference Folder (account) with AT&T.

Reservationless Conferencing is for conferences of fewer than 125 participants with no special features employed (i.e. Digitized Replay or Transcription, etc.). Reservationless Conferencing is an on-demand conference call. A fixed dial-in number is established and stays active for six months. Billing is for what is actually used at 12 cents per minute, billed to the conference host’s telephone number (with toll-free access to the participants calling in).

You, as the conference host, must set up a Teleconference Folder (account).

To set up a Teleconference Folder (account):  

1. Call extension 6442 for the password.
2. Call AT&T Conference Calls at 1.800.526.2655.
3. Provide Cal Poly Pomona’s account number: #64281863-0001.
4. Provide your name, as the host.
5. Provide your *telephone number.
   
   Note: The telephone number is used for billing purposes. I&IT uses the telephone number to charge your department.
   

Separate discounted fees are available and include setup, bridge connections, transport and features. The Reservationless Conferencing option allows the user to set up the conference call any time, day or night, without ever having to make a reservation - thus eliminating the $15 set up fee.

• The host notifies participants of the dial-in number, the participant access code and date and time of conference call.
• The host dials in their RESERVATIONLESS bridge telephone number, enter the host access code and begin the conference.
  
  Note: For security purposes, the conference call starts when the host joins the call. The conference call ends when the host leave the call, unless the continuation feature is utilized.

For more information, contact Cassandra Reyes at extension 6442.
