Conference Phones
WTS does not coordinate the purchase of conference phone units. If you wish to purchase a conference phone please communicate directly with the vendor for a quote. Some possible vendors are:
Anixter Canada – Danielle Derbyshire danielle.derbyshire@anixter.com
Stronghold Services – Bob Cummings bob@strongholdservices.ca
NOTE:
Purchase of these conference phones does in itself provide conference capability. In order to conference multiple participants, it is necessary to also arrange for an audio conference service.
