Free Conference Calling Blog

Rondee assigns each organizer and each invitee their own PIN.

Rondee also assigns a listen-only PIN to just the organizer. Any number of people may call in using this PIN to hear the conference. Like all Rondee PINs, this one is private unless the organizer chooses to share it with others.  What this means for you as the organizer of a Rondee conference call:

1) for the folks you want to participate by listening and speaking: invite them as you normally would using Rondee
2) for the folks you want to attend by listening only: simply email them the listen-only PIN and tell them when to call in

Frequently folks from Canada (or other countries) ask us whether they can use Rondee’s conference service. The answer is yes. Anybody can dial into Rondee (whether they are from Canada or any other country). The only requirement is users be able to dial a US phone number. Rondee’s bridge number is 619-276-6333 which is a regular, normal California phone number.

You are making Rondee one of the most talked about conference calling companies in America. Thanks to all of you who give us your feedback, ideas and suggestions to help us grow.

Our first issue focused on the new features that we built to help make Rondee the best free conference calling service available. If you do not currently receive Rondee News, simply register for an account and you’ll be included on our issue next month.

Some customers have asked us to provide them with a special PIN that they can distribute to others who would like to listen-in on an ongoing conference call.

We will shortly launch a new feature designed to do just that. On your invitation page, you will now see a “Listen-only PIN”. This PIN is unique to your conference, and it remains private unless you distribute it to others.

Possible uses include investor conference calls and presentations, semi-public meetings and religious services.

Please keep the ideas coming!

In the past week, we’ve had a lot of users write-in to ask whether they can host Rondee conference calls with 10, 20 or 30 people. In short, the answer is yes. Until you start to get well above 50, Rondee can handle calls that encompass your entire team, company, extended group, etc. Keep in mind, however, that the call quality will start to suffer if too many people are on a call and allowing ambient noise to waft in. Remember that you can always press Pound 1 to mute yourself. In fact, pressing pound will remind you of all the options available such as mute/unmute/ increase or decrease volume, etc.
