Phone conference - Don't use a VOIP phone...
Posted: Thu Feb 12, 2009 7:46 pm
i had a voice conference with a service called http://www.freeconference.com (219) 509-8111. i had some trouble connecting (it could not recognize my touch tone pulses for my access code).
the message on the phone said "if you are using a Voice over Internet service such as Vonage or Skype, we strongly recommend using a standard phone..."
i finally got connected by holding down each number for a long time...
however, my connection got dropped several times over the duration of the conference.

any reason why the ooma service should react any differently with this phone conferencing service? any reason why my call dropped several times?
i have successfully used other voice conference services without incident.
