[stylist] Monthly telephone gathering- this coming Sunday

Sun Apr 25 02:45:42 UTC 2010

Neil, Jewel and others

about calling in from out of country and for those without long distance
plans- a 3 way would be super great! I'll contact free-conference and see
what they tell me about calling in from Canada.. What goes through my
uneducated thoughts are, that seeing how it is a USA based service and it is
a US number, then -- we'd have to look at Neil's service, does it cover
calling to the USA? 

And so, might there be some one who could call Jewel and do a 3 way?  Email
her if you can.

A suggestion that has worked with a few groups I'm in...if anyone who is
going to be in on the conversation has free long-distance for Canada (some
plans include Canada and Mexico) and has three-way/conference calling, they
can call in on the chat, then call Neil, there will be no charges on Neil's
phone bill, but he can participate as if he called in for himself.

On that note, if anyone does have conference calling, I would be grateful
for a three-way into the chat. I don't have free long-distance; I have a
more basic plan, which is all I can afford at this time, but it has a
minute-by-minute charge. So, if anyone can do the three-way with me, give me
a buzz via e-mail and I'll pass my phone number on to you.
