New\u00a0Join the Call<\/i>\u00a0<\/em>Pilot Program<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Direct Support Network and Berks Gas Truth have teamed up to make it possible for more grassroots members of our movement in Pennsylvania to participate in conference calls. Free conference call services aren\u2019t really free to those who have landlines or airtime minute limits on their cell phones. Our pilot Join the Call<\/i> program will give you as hosts of calls the ability to offer AT&T Pre-Paid minutes to people interested in participating.
\n <\/p>\n

During the pilot phase of our program, we can offer minutes to up to four callers, so feel free to offer the service in your meeting announcements, but make sure people understand that there are a limited number of calling cards available.
\n <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ask people to contact you if they\u2019d like to use the free minutes. We can only offer the service to Pennsylvanians during the pilot.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Send the person\u2019s name and the phone number they\u2019ll be using, as well as the meeting date and time, to karen.feridun@gmail.com<\/a>. We\u2019ll send you the dial-up information and pin to share with the person.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The caller will have to dial an 800 number and pin before entering the conference call number and pin.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 At the end of the call, most services send you an email with details of the call. Please forward that email to karen.feridun@gmail.com<\/a>. We\u2019ll match the number on the report with the number the caller provided so we can track how many minutes were used. That\u2019ll help us know when it\u2019s time to re-charge the card so the next caller doesn\u2019t run out of minutes mid-call. If your service doesn\u2019t provide a report, please let Karen know how long the call lasted and we\u2019ll assume the caller was on for the duration.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That\u2019s all there is to it!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Calling cards avoid long distance charges, but don\u2019t spare callers airtime minutes. We\u2019re exploring options for those callers who don\u2019t have landlines and have limited cell plans.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By the way, if you get a frantic fifth caller who would like to use the minutes, let us know and we\u2019ll do our best to add a card. \u00a0Otherwise, we\u2019d really like to keep it to four cards during the pilot.<\/p>\n
