WebEx Call-in Audio Options
Hi guys, Am supposed to have long, very long meetings over webex next week and there are no Kenyan toll-free numbers provided. Calling at the normal international rates will be extremely expensive, even if I use China/India numbers. Are there any other options out there?
Ask the meeting admin to allow the computer to be used for audio rather than a dial in. On Wed, May 28, 2014 at 11:28 AM, Bwana Lawi <mail2lawi@gmail.com> wrote:

Not an option really....just a bearable work-around. There are some international *'fixed-phone'* destinations (US, UK, China, India) that are charged at Kes 3.00 per minute. Maybe you can explore if some of those are listed on WebEx. My reasoning is : Assuming an 8-hour call each day, that translates to 8*60*3 = 1,440/= which in my view is fair enough for such use, which I presume makes business sense. You may have to do quite some amount of work trying to hack the Destination/Local_Provider permutations though :-) Tony.
Some other options: 1. Get skype, load some credit onto it and use it to call the US number (I'm not sure if it will allow you to call out to 0800 numbers with no credit - I suspect not but worth trying). 2. If you can change the teleconf, check out meetupcall which has KE local numbers. On Wed, May 28, 2014 at 9:28 AM, Bwana Lawi <mail2lawi@gmail.com> wrote:

Skype has a 1 month free unlimited. Hoping to utilize that :) Brian, I will suggest that to the host On Wed, May 28, 2014 at 11:50 AM, rsohan@gmail.com <rsohan@gmail.com> wrote:
