This is our effort to let you in on a few suggestions which we try to implement ourselves while on a conference call. The primary aim is to share some good practices given the large number of communication tools available at hand nowadays.

If you are the host of the conference call, it is expected that you will arrive a few minutes early and greet all the participants. While you are doing this, you will also find out if everyone is present and what is a good time to start the meeting. Presenting yourself earlier would also help you to deal with the pre-mature discussions which could be rather insightful.

The following guidelines fall into the category of proper calling etiquettes when availing of conference call services:

Toff Call Conference Etiquettes

If you are initiating the call, request all other parties if they have time or at an appropriate place to attend the conference call with you at the given time.

This quiz until date has been on a short code and has proven very successful. We have migrated the service to a long code to accommodate interconnect revenues.

The quiz line can be set for different categories with questions on Sports. We are currently taking calls for participants that want to represent their teams on our Sports Quiz program on Channels TV to be broadcasted during the next premiership season. Winners stand a chance to cart away with as much as N1,ooo,ooo in cash and gift prizes.

To participate and stand a chance to be invited on TV to WIN as much as a million naira, an interested entrant should buy a N500 Toff scratch card from Toff agents or a “Toff PIN on xpat” at any Zenith bank. Once you have obtained a PIN, participants should call 018720000 (our Sports Quiz line) where they try to answer at least 5 questions correctly. Each access card is charged at N500 and the call is charged at standard land line charges from all networks to Starcomms. Calls from Starcomms phones are much cheaper at N12 /minute. This will allow participants to answer more questions than any other GSM or CDMA subscriber. The more you answer the more chances of being profiles by the computer to appear on the Tv quiz show.

Many Callers will be selected at random by the computer and subsequently profiled, and a final list  will be selected from the candidates profiled to appear on the TV sports quiz show.

This service is available to all networks.
