Instructions (for all currently registered meetings)
 

To attend a meeting, Dial: 712-432-2000 (+1 712-432-2000 from outside USA)

Recorded information about DA phone meetings is available anytime at 609-466-8861, a New Jersey, USA phone number. (Dial +1 609-466-8861 from outside USA.) The recording is updated rapidly if there are any changes or unusual circumstances.  Call it to confirm the instructions if you have any problems.

Anyone attending a phone meeting is charged by their local phone service, long-distance, and/or cell-phone provider exactly what they would be charged (if anything) to call any other phone number in the Santa Cruz, California (USA). The teleconference company claims, "We can not and do not put charges on your phone bill," and that appears to be completely accurate.  Phone meeting regulars have heard of no extra fees, surcharges, etc. billed by or through the teleconference service to those calling in.

Those with unlimited USA calling have found that there is no charge for the call.  DA members attending phone meetings are usually happy to provide information about inexpensive calling options they've found; ask before or after a meeting.

Phone meetings are very similar to face-to-face meetings in format, with minor additions to make the meeting run smoothly, e.g., a request to keep your phone muted when you are not speaking to the meeting.  The meetings occur as telephone conference calls.  Anyone calling the teleconference phone number and entering the meeting access code at the time of the meeting is automatically put into a conference call with everyone else.  It's a good idea to call in a few minutes before the meeting actually starts.  At some meetings, anyone calling in may volunteer to chair the meeting that day; other meetings arrange for the chairperson in advance.

To start a new DA phone meeting on 712-432-2000, or to have recorded information updated about any 712 phone meeting using the MONEY# access code, call Pat O in New Jersey.  Phone-meeting regulars have permission to give Pat's home number out, privately, for those purposes only.
