Who May Find This Useful

Consultants interested in understanding the community's reactions to the new opportunity call number and its implications for recruiting efforts may find this discussion relevant.

The 800 call # is still working. I just called it.

The toll call # is identical to the 800 #. I just called it too.

Not sure when the 800 # will no longer be in service though.
 
This NEEDS to be a Free call!

Not everyone has a cell phone. Alot that do may not want to use up 10minutes of their call time. Would I remember to make a call like this when my minutes are Free (nights and weekends) probably not. I think thas was a bad decision and I will let HO know!
