Instructions (for all currently registered meetings)
 

To attend a meeting, Dial: 517-417-5200 (+ 1 517-417-5200 Outside the USA)

Then key in the access code:  MONEY#  (66639#), except for the BDA  and German speaking meeting.

Use MONEY1# (666391#) for the two BDA meetings.

Use MONEYd# (666393#) for the German speaking meeting.

The telephone conference room is reserved for fellowship for 15 minutes before the meeting starts and for 25 minutes or more afterwards.
 

Note that you (and any noise at your location or caused by your phone connection) cannot be heard when you enter the conference call.  To unmute, press the 6 key (you'll hear "Muting Cancelled" when you've successfully unmuted).  To mute whenever you are not sharing, press 6 again (you'll hear "You Are Now Muted").  If you have trouble muting or unmuting with the 6 key, try a different phone.

General Information (for all currently registered meetings)
 

The meetings occur in English.
 

Anyone attending a phone meeting is charged by their local phone service, long-distance, and/or cell-phone provider exactly what they would be charged (if anything) to call any other phone number in the Santa Cruz, California (USA). The teleconference company claims, "We can not and do not put charges on your phone bill," and that appears to be completely accurate.  Phone meeting regulars have heard of no extra fees, surcharges, etc. billed by or through the teleconference service to those calling in.

Those with unlimited USA calling have found that there is no charge for the call.  DA members attending phone meetings are usually happy to provide information about inexpensive calling options they've found; ask before or after a meeting.

Phone meetings are very similar to face-to-face meetings in format, with minor additions to make the meeting run smoothly, e.g., a request to keep your phone muted when you are not speaking to the meeting.  The meetings occur as telephone conference calls.  Anyone calling the teleconference phone number and entering the meeting access code at the time of the meeting is automatically put into a conference call with everyone else.  It's a good idea to call in a few minutes before the meeting actually starts.  At some meetings, anyone calling in may volunteer to chair the meeting that day; other meetings arrange for the chairperson in advance.
