AA online meetings via Phone
It’s possible to dial into a zoom meeting rather than connect via a PC or an App on a device.
Dial in via phone if:
- You only have a landline
- Your internet connection is unreliable
- Your have no data connection on your phone or it is too expensive while roaming.
Finding a Zoom ID number:
First, find the Zoom ID Number of the meeting you want to attend on the Alcoholics Anonymous Australia website Find Meeting page or an alternative list.
Dial in to a meeting:
Once you find the ID number dial one of these Australian phone numbers:
(08) 7150 1149
(02) 8015 6011
(03) 7018 2005
If you are not in Australia you can find a local number to use here https://zoom.us/zoomconference
Enter the Zoom ID:
When prompted, enter the Zoom Meeting ID number followed by the hash key #.
Password (if there is one):
If the meeting has a password, you’ll be prompted to enter the meeting password.
If the password is not numeric, you will not be able to access the meeting via a phone.
Note: This is a restriction introduced by Zoom in October 2020. Prior to this, it was possible to enter non-numeric passwords using a phone keypad.
Muting/unmuting yourself:
After you’ve dialed in, you can put your phone on mute until you are speaking.
*6 to mute, *6 to unmute.
Raising your hand:
While participating in the meeting, you can raise your hand to indicate to the chairperson that you want to speak.
*9 to raise hand, *9 to lower hand.
