Conference Call
- Our working conference call in number in the USA is +1.661.673.8600 with code 687605#
- Check out The World Clock Meeting Planner
- If you are calling from countries other than the USA, sign up with http://www.rebtel.com/ to get low calling rates. Rebtel assigns a number local to you, so you can call the USA number above via a local number.
- We have considered a quarterly global teleconference call. How to implement this? Much of the team is in the San Francisco Bay Area, USA.
