Cal Poly Information Technology Services has identified two audio conference services.
Qwest Audio and Web Conferencing
Qwest is the more economical conferencing service. Qwest offers lower per minute rates, direct billing to P-Cards (rather than department phone bills), and no set-up fees. Registration to use the discounted Qwest services takes three to ten days.
-
To initiate Qwest services, you must request a Welcome Kit and sign up for P-Card billing. Complete the Conferencing Order Template (opens Microsoft Excel spreadsheet) and email it to frank.saraceno@qwest.com. The Welcome Kit will arrive in three to ten days.
-
Qwest offers web and audio conferencing at two different service levels.
- Reservationless – After initial registration, the self service account can be used on demand. This is the least expensive Audio Conference option.
- Reservation/Operator Assisted – After initial registration and with five hours advanced notice, an operator will help set up a conference service. A slightly higher per minute fee is charged.
