Details About Pink Apple Teleconference Calls

Not everyone is familiar with Teleconference calls or Phone Cards.

As Pink Apple finds it an excellent low-cost way to offer our resources, we want teleconference calls to be as easy as "falling off a log" so you won't feel nervous about taking part!

The good thing about teleconference calls is that you can participate from anywhere.   Anywhere that is, that you feel safe and comfy.  That's the point!  We want you to get the most benefit by setting the best environment for yourself.

Places like

• Your home office,
• on your mobile in the local park,
• your car using a mobile (and of course for safety's sake, a hands-free, car kit, or Bluetooth)
• AND it's all for the price of a local call.  Even though the bridge line is located in the US. 

How do you take part in a teleconference call?  It's easy when you know how!  And you will very soon!

At least 24 hours before the call (or in Pink Apple's case the Zing-By-Phone), you purchase a Telephone Card either online (that's for Aussies) or at your local newsagent.

The minimum amount of value you can buy and put on the card is usually $5 or $10, but you can purchase greater value cards, or top it up later if/when you need to.

(If you have internationally-bases relatives/friend, you'll probably have already discovered the benefits to these cards!  They are big money-savers.  Or if you haven't discovered them before, then you'll now have another use for the card!)   

To actually access the Pink Apple Zing-By-Phone call, you dial the local number on your card, enter your special PIN (also recorded on the card) and then just follow the prompts.

You'll be given the number of the bridge line when you register for Pink Apple Zing-By-Phone call.   (A Bridge line is the overseas phone number that  you need to use, and the PIN you use to access "our Pink Apple" call.)

If you live in the US, you may still need a card to minimise the cost of a one-hour long-distance call.  If you live in Europe or the UK then here is where you should start your hunt for Telephone Cards.  Of course googling will give you more suggestions.

Pink Apple is happy to assist ANYONE who finds any of that "telephone card stuff" challenging.  (I know I did when Wild Boy moved to the UK for two years, and I realised that calls cost a fortune.  So email me if you'd like help.

So if you feel a little nervous, Pink Apple will hold your hand.  We know you're not dumb or difficult.

And we also want you to remember that you don't want to let this temporary challenge stop you from tapping into the Zing-By-Phone energy and benefits that YOU can gain!

One last thing, you only need the regular phone you currently use.  That might be a standard phone or a cordless/portable or mobile (cell) phone.  Of course, a pen and paper will come in handy as well.

Of course, people in the US are only doing an in-country long distance call and they no doubt have plans to help with that. On the related issue of people calling internationally from the US I find often that friends and colleagues in the US don't know how to access cheap calls. What we do when we go to the States is buy a phone card (so far they have been AT&T) from a Sams or Costco (if you are an Aussie or other foreigner you'll need a local who is a member of one of those: I don't know if you can join them from offshore) and top them up when we re-visit (ours also works from Canada). Or you can go online to http://www.nobelcom.com - currently from 1.3 cents a minute to call from US to Australia.

Thanks Des.
That's really helpful information for myself and readers. As I update the website this year with Leah MacLean's help, I will incorporate your advice into my content.
I appreciate the gift of your knowledge!
