How to initiate a conference call and invite others.
You, as the Host, enter the conference and bring the other participants into the call:
Steps in Detail:
A. Dial access number, followed by # from your Phone.
B. You will hear a beep tone confirming that you have entered the conference room. Now press # to invite a
Participant to the conference room. After hearing the voice prompt ‘Please enter the destination phone number
followed by the pound key’, dial the phone number of the person you want to bring into the conference and
then press #. After the Participant answers, press # to add this participant to the conference. Alternatively if
you dialed the wrong number or the Participant does not answer just press the “*” key and you will be
returned to the conference without the Participant.
C. To invite another participant, press #, wait for prompt, dial next participant’s phone number followed by #,
wait for answer and then press # to join them into conference. Repeat this process to invite more participants
into the conference. Remember you can use * if you want to return to the conference without the Participant.
Note: You can conference other users by simply dialing their Phone number followed by #. For Participants
with regular phone just dial the international dialing prefix followed by their regular telephone number
and then press #.
How to have participants to enter the conference room themselves
Any participant that has a MeritPhone can dial our participant access number to enter an active conference
him or herself. However the conference call needs to have already been initiated by the Host before the
participant can join.
Steps in Detail:
A. The Host must setup the Participant Password on the “My Account” web site. The Host must then tell the
Participants the conference ID and the Participant password.
