Calls. Boise State also has a Meet-Me Conference Call service available for
departments that wish to have participants pay long distance costs.. These
types of conference calls must be placed through AT&T or through the Boise State
Meet-Me Service. AT&T prices are based on calls being set up correctly
through AT&T.

Teleconference Pricing
AT&T has the State of Idaho Contract for Teleconference
Calls. Following is price information based on the latest AT&T Contract and
services provided by OIT. All conference calls must be placed through AT&T
or through the Boise State Meet-Me Service. Prices are based on calls being set
up correctly through AT&T.
Operator Dialed/Assisted: $.21 Cents per Minute per Participant
AT&T Teleconference Specialist dials out to each participant, including the
host, and adds them to the call. This service can accommodate from 3 to 500
participants and has unlimited conference duration. Host of the conference call
assumes responsibility for all charges related to the call.
Dial-In: $.08 Cents Per Minute per Participant
All Dial-In conferences are either "Automated" or "Operator
Assisted Dial-In". The teleconference bridge opens up for new calls five
minutes prior to actual start time. Reservations and reservation changes are
downloaded to the bridges every fifteen minutes.
Automated Dial-In calls are "auto answered". Teleconference
participants are responsible for dialing into the conference via an assigned 800
or 10-digit telephone number and when prompted are required to enter a 6 digit
access code. Upon successful entry of the code, participants are automatically
connected to the call without intervention from the Teleconference Specialist.
Operator Assisted Dial-In calls are "routed to a Specialist".
Teleconference participants are responsible for dialing into the conference via
an assigned 800 or 10-digit telephone number and when prompted are required to
enter a 6 digit access code. Once the access code is entered, participants will
be greeted by a Specialist and screened for any host requested information.
This service can accommodate up to 150 participants with a call duration of
up to 24 hours.
