However, in order for us to all enjoy them and be able to hear the great information, it is important that we follow a few basic " rules " when calling in.If you call in and it rings busy, please keep trying! There are probably too many people trying to get in on the call at the same time. When you first come onto the telephone seminar - there is no need to announce yourself, even though the " operator " says to. Hit *6, NOT #6! By hitting *6, you mute your line. All the background noise, from your kids talking to you talking to your spouse, to other phones ringing or your breathing, can all be picked up. When we have over 200 callers on the line, that allows for a lot of background noise! If you want to ask a question, hit *6 to UN-mute yourself. After you ask your question, be sure to hit *6 again! It is a toggle feature, and you should hear the " operator " tell you that your line has been muted or un-muted. This is a long distance call. If you do not have long distance services, you might want to try Skype if you have high speed internet. Go to www.skype.com for details. Skype is a cheaper alternative to making a long distance call to a landline - as little as $2.99/month. Plus the sound quality is great!If you would like to have a particular topic, question, or issue addressed on a phone call that we have scheduled, please e-mail: sara@....ATTENTION TO OUR FAMILIES IN CANADA - Our telephone seminar service does not allow direct calls from Area Codes (712) and (218). Anyone calling from these two area codes must first call . It will then ask you to enter in the teleconference number and access code that you see above. We apologize for any confusion this may cause.
