Important: If you disable someone and they had a meeting already scheduled using toll-free numbers, their invitations will be re-generated. Invitees are sent new invitations with toll-free numbers excluded.

Billing

Per-minute charges are based on your service contract, and minutes are calculated per participants. For instance, if 3 participants dial in to the session for 10 minutes using the toll-free option, you will have used 30 minutes of your plan. Those who join by regular toll numbers are charged rates based on their own long-distance provider. There are no additional charges for those who join a session using VoIP.

Tip: To minimize billing charges, any attendee who joins a session before the organizer starts the meeting is disconnected after 5 minutes of inactivity. If the session is canceled and never started by the organizer, then no charges are incurred. However, if an organizer joins the session, even if it was never started, the account is charged for the organizer's minutes, along with the minutes incurred by any attendees waiting for the event to start.
