NIH Audio Conferencing Info

Audio Conferencing also referred to as Teleconferencing, is a means of connecting more than two people on the same phone call.

Choosing the correct method* to place your conference calls:

Six or less people (Including the originator):
Most phones at the NIH will allow you to conference with two others, while some ISDN phones can connect up to six parties.

Six or more people:
* Contact NIH Telephone Operator Services (301-496-4517) to setup a conference call with MCI. Use this option if you will need operator assistance, or you are not a frequent user of audio conferencing

or

* Submit a Telephone Service Request (TSR) to set up an account with MCI and obtain a toll-free number and access code. Use this option if you will be a frequent teleconference user. Click here for a TSR Form.

For any questions or clarification on the options, please contact:
