Frequently Asked Questions

Each moderator is assigned a unique Conference PassCode when they first set up their account. All persons attending a conference call are prompted to enter the Conference PassCode immediately after dialing into the ConferTel system. This ensures that participants are connected to the correct conference. (The Moderator must provide the Conference PassCode, along with the dial-in phone number, to all participants prior to the time of the call.)

Every Moderator selects a Moderator PIN when they first open their account. This PIN should remain confidential since the moderator is responsible for all charges related to that PIN. The moderator must enter the PIN, when prompted, after entering the Conference PassCode, in order for all participants to be entered into the conference and for the conference to begin.

Immediately after every conference call, the Moderator will receive an email summarizing details of the call, including entry and exit time for each participant.
