More tips for calling from Skype

Hi Everyone,

Well, we just had our first orientation call, and learned that technology challenges affect each and every one of us! Some people had difficulty calling in, so I wanted to give a few more tips:

1. When you are calling in for the orientation call, or the Question and Answer calls, you are not actually calling me on Skype. You need to call 9900827041415460, which is the designated Skype number for our calls. It works exactly like if you were calling a land line in the United States, but it is free!




2. If you cannot access this number, I may be able to call you into the conference. However, we need to do this early in the conference so that it doesn't interrupt the call.




3. If you still cannot join the call, I will be sending out a recording so that you can listen at a later date.




4. If you have questions or problems hearing during the call, please Skype Scott (mrbeckbeck)

I have included pictures below on how to call into the conference call, as I think it may be a little confusing.

Step 1: Select "Call Phones" in your menu bar
Step 2: Use the dial pad to type in 9900827041415460. Leave the country selection blank.
Step 3: hit the green "dial" button that looks like a phone and you should hear ringing like on a normal phone.

And that should get you into the conference call!
