RE: [search-ws] Fw: [chairs] TC Support for Non-US Callers

[Sophie Lee2 <sophie.lee@de.ibm.com>]

Hello,

ah, the joys of teleconferencing! Let me try to explain:

"Toll-Free" number means that people living in USA (or UK if it's a UK
Toll-Free number) can dial it, but people from other countries will
normally get a message saying that they cannot reach the destination from
where they are dialing, or if they can get through, they will get charged
at normal international rates.

"International Number"  means that people living in other countries can
actually connect to the destination, but will still get charged at normal
international rates.

It's not an issue for me, as I dial from a VOIP connection where the cost
is the same, but perhaps some other people may wish to use this service.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards,

Nope, 816 is Kansas City Missouri.  I have no idea what makes that an
international number.  Maybe some of you internationals have an idea.

The service I'm using advertises an "International Dial-In Number" of
816-650-0813.  I have no idea what that means.  Is the 816 area code
some sort of international toll free number?
