Teleconferencing Services
There are three options for UCSC campus parties wishing to initiate a Teleconference. These options are listed starting with the lowest cost first*. Click each link for instructions on using that option.

UCSC Conference Calling- The UCSC telephone system allows teleconferencing with up to 8 parties. Since only two of the parties can be located off-campus, this type of teleconference call is best suited for smaller, more informal conference calls, especially those where all parties are located on campus. There is no cost to use the UCSC Conference Callling service unless there are off campus parties, which are charged at regular UCSC local and long distance rates per minute. No special code or password is needed.

Ready Talk Teleconference Calling plus Web Conferencing-ReadyTalk offers a wide variety of conferencing services. Reservationless Teleconferencing is $0.0385 (3.85 cents) per minute (per attendee)*. There can be up to 96 participants per call. Teleconference calls may be recorded and stored for a small additional charge and are available for access on the WEB until host requests to delete. You may setup a Chairperson (host) account on the WEB (allow one business day) or call a toll free number. Unlimited WEB conferencing is FREE with or without a Teleconference call.

AT&T Teleconference Calling-AT&T TeleConference Services gives you the ability to "call a meeting" quickly and easily. You must get password from UCSC ITS Telco department before calling a toll free number or accessing the WEB to setup (reserve) a teleconference call. Lowest rate is $.13 per minute (per attendee) plus other call fees*. There is a fee for reserved Teleconferences that are not used. You can connect as many people as you need whenever you need them and wherever they are.

*All Teleconference calls are recharged back to the Teleconference host telephone number on the monthly ITS billing. ReadyTalk and AT&T Teleconference call billing includes a 5.4% surcharge.
