Conference Room and Conference Phone Information

Locations in newer buildings (e.g., classrooms in the PAB) can usually be wired for VoIP conferencing with enough notice.  Email telecomrequest@reed.edu with any questions pertaining to conference phones.

Do I Need A Conference Phone?

Larger groups tend to need conference phones, e.g., you and your department all gather to call another person or group.  If you have a conference call planned between two parties (however many people, but only two locations) or three parties (however many people, but three locations), you can borrow a Reed conference phone.  Conference room locations are above.  Please check availability with CEP to reserve a room, and advance notice to reserve a phone must be given by contacting telecomrequest@reed.edu

Alternatively, if you are joining a conference call by yourself, you can use your Reed office phone.  If you are unsure how to make conference calls on your phone, contact telecomrequest@reed.edu

If there are several callers (more than three) each calling from individual locations, consider using a conference line. A conference “leader” calls a toll-free number, enters a leader code to open the conference room, and waits for other participants to call in and join.  All participants dial the same toll-free number and must enter either the leader or participant code to join.  Codes should be given out ahead of time.  Calls are charged by the minute and billed to your department.  If your department does not have a conference line but would like to use one, TIS can assist setup with our third-party provider, Two Rivers Conferencing.  Contact telecomrequest@reed.edu for assistance.
