Conferencing Tip: Mobile or cordless phone usage for audio conferencing
When participating in an audio conference avoid mobile or cordless phones. Whenever possible, use a phone unit that is hard-wired into the telephone lines. Mobile and cordless phones tend to pick up static as the signal travels through the air to reach the tower or base unit that actually connects to the phone lines in the ground.
If you must use a mobile or cordless phone during a conference call, remember to mute your line when you are not actively speaking.
This is such a good tip. When we listen back to our recorded conference calls, it makes the call so much clearer if cell phones are muted when those people aren’t speaking. Great tip!
