15 FreeConference Mobile FAQs What devices are required to run the FreeConference Mobile application? FreeConference Mobile will work on Android OS version 2.0 or later. Where can I download the FreeConference Mobile application? The application can be downloaded for free from the Android Market. How much will I pay for the conferencing service? Your normal conferencing rates will apply when using the mobile version of this service. How do I install the application on my device? To install the FreeConference Mobile application, launch Android Market and search for the FreeConference app. Tap the app and hit the Install button. Once installation is complete, the FreeConference application will appear on your Applications screen. Can participants use the application as well? No. Although anyone can dial in to the conference itself, only the host will be able to moderate the call using this application on their Android. How many people can I have on the call, and for how long? Our service can accommodate up to 150 simultaneous callers, for up to six hours per call. There is no limit to the number of conferences you can conduct. Can international callers join the conference? Except for toll-free numbers, all of our call-in numbers are accessible from any phone in the world capable of dialing into a US-based long-distance number. International participants would dial in with whatever country codes they would normally use to reach the United States. With our toll-free service, an alternate number is provided for international callers, since the toll-free number is accessible from the United States and Canada only. Do I need to have a FreeConference account in order to use the FreeConference Mobile application on my Android? Yes. If you already have an account with FreeConference.com, you can log in using the same login credentials as you would on the site. If you do not currently have an account, you can sign up directly within the app. What if I have problems downloading the FreeConference Mobile application? First, make sure you are running Android OS 2.0 or later. If you are still having issues downloading the FreeConference Mobile application, please contact Google Support for assistance. Can I use FreeConference Mobile on my computer? No. This application is configured specifically to run on your Android. Can I launch the FreeConference Mobile application and conduct the conference call on my Android at the same time? Yes. You can dial in to the conference directly from your Android. Can I use conference recording with FreeConference Mobile? Yes. Conference recording is available at no extra charge with your Premium 800 dial-in number. If you'd prefer to use your Standard (non-800) dial-in number, you can sign up for our FreeConference Select Recording service. To activate recording while in a conference, simply press on your mobile phone. You must activate this feature in order for your call to be recorded; we cannot record conferences "by default". How can I access the conference recording? Roughly an hour after all parties have disconnected, you'll be ed a link to download the recording in MP3 format, along with information for listening to the recording over the phone. Access to the recording is active for exactly thirty days, after which all copies are deleted from our servers. Can I conduct a one-person recording? No. Conference recording requires the presence of at least two callers on the line. Still have questions? Find out more at: 14
