​

Phone Conference Service - Additional Info

​

Alternate number:

If the main number doesn't work for you, try the alternate number:

Dial 1-559-546-1400. When it asks you to enter the dial-in number plus #, enter 667-770-1484#. Then when it asks for the access code plus #, enter 698401#.

 

Calling on a cell phone: If you keep getting a busy signal:

Text HELP to the dial-in number (667-770-1484). They will reply with an alternate number you can use.

​

Free Smartphone App

​

For callers with smartphones: You can either call in directly (as you do now), or you can use the free conference call app.

​

To get the app:

o Go to the App Store & search for "FCC HD":

OR:

o Go to the phone service website https://www.freeconferencecallhd.com/

o Scroll to the bottom of the page, & click the appropriate button for either iPhone or Android.

THEN: Install the app.

​

To connect using the app:

  1. Open the app

  2. Click "+ New" to add a meeting

  3. For callers in US or Canada: Enter the main dial-in number given above.

  4. For callers in other countries:

    1. If you are going to be connecting over the internet, it doesn't matter which dial-in number you use. You can enter the main dial-in number given above, using US as the country.

    2. If you are going to be connecting over your cell phone network, you may want to use the international number for your country. (See the attached list.) Click on the flag symbol to change the country.

  5. Enter the access code. (The access code is the same, regardless of which dial-in number is used. You don't need to enter #.)

  6. Then click "Join"

  7. When you join a meeting, the app will give you the option either to join over the phone network, or over the internet.

 

Notes:

  • If you choose to join a meeting over the phone network, the app will say "For quick join the conference you will be dialing" & then will display a number which will usually be different from the main dial-in number. Don't worry. It's just the number that the app is going to use internally to connect you. You will be connected to the correct meeting.

  • When you join a meeting for the second time, you won't have to re-enter the dial-in number & access code, because the app will remember it.

  • When you click "+ New" to add a meeting, the app will give it a generic name "FCC HD Meeting". You can modify this later as follows: Tap the meeting name. This will bring up a display for the meeting. Click the pencil symbol by the meeting name to edit, & change it to whatever you want, such as "New CPA".

​

International Callers

​

For international callers: There are special dial-in numbers available for 72 countries. See document below for list. (The access code is the same, regardless of which dial-in number is used.)
