Teleconference option

When you have no headset then sound can be very bad when you want to ask questions by voice. In that case you best ask your question via the chatbox and the moderator will ask the question for you. Or you can login by a telephone too and get the sound over the telephone.

To participate by telephone, select the best number for calling from your country from the list below and call that number. Follow the instructions given during the call. When they ask for the pin code, you need to enter the correct active session number listed above.

Note:
- You must have a telephone with tone dialing to dial in to a telephone conference.
- Some dial-in numbers (Austria, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Spain) do not support mobile phones.
- Stated prices are for one call from the respective country. Cell phone prices may differ.

You can find more information in the short manual about teleconferences.
