WHERE:

The VUC calls are hosted on the ZipDX wideband conference bridge.

HOW #1: ZipDX via SIP

If you have a SIP phone you can join the call via the ZipDX wideband conference bridge. The SIP URI is sip:200901@login.zipdx.com. If your SIP phone is G.722 capable you will hear marvelous wideband audio quality.

HOW #2: ZipDX via Java Plug-in

Phone From Here has created a Java based soft phone widget that runs in a web browser. Better yet, it’s G.722 capable so it connects the ZipDX wideband bridge via SIP.

You should be aware that the plug-in will use whatever audio device was set as primary when you last launched your browser. If you need to change the audio device you will need to restart your web browser.

HOW #3: ZipDX via Skype

The Phone From Here Skype gateway can also be used to connect to the ZipDX wideband conference bridge from Skype. From your Skype client simply call Skype:vuc.me.

You should be aware that the connect method does not support wideband audio at present.

HOW #1: Talkshoe via PSTN

If you’re joining the call from a normal phone or cell phone and need access via a normal telephone number you should call the Talkshoe conference bridge

Dial (724) 444-7444, when prompted use conference ID 22622 and user ID 1 for guest access.

If this is your normal means of joining the call you may wish to register for a free account with Talkshoe. This will give you a user ID other than guest (1) and makes it easier for the host to manage the call.

HOW #4: Talkshoe via Skype

Phone From Here has also created a Skype gateway allowing people to join the call directly from Skype. From your Skype client simply call Skype:ld.vuc.me which connects you to the Talkshoe conference bridge.
