  5. What happens if I experience poor reception / signals for audio conferences?
    PLDT Audiocon is fully digital. And we assure you of its high service reliability at all times through its periodic preventive and corrective maintenance activities. To avoid such problems, we advise that you check your telephone instruments, especially the ones with speaker phones. There are units with such feature that are sensitive to noise. Mobile phones, on the other hand, are sensitive to the type of terrain / land environment, weather conditions, and poor cell site signal amplifications.
  6. What if one or several of my invited attendees / participants cannot attend the Audiocon session that is about to start, can I elect a new participant?
    No. Changes in the roster of participants, as well as changing of the actual date of session, should be done 24 working hours before the actual session (note: The changing of the actual date of session depends on the availability of conferencing units.)

    The Host or the disconnected attendee / participant should inform the PLDT AudioCon HelpDesk through telephone numbers (02)584-0117, and inform of the disconnection. PLDT Audiocon HelpDesk will re-connect the participant to the conference, the way he was initially connected (e.g., Call-In or Call-Out).
  8. Can I cancel my Audio reservation?
    Yes, provided you will file it 24 working hours prior to your reserved schedule. The same procedure should also be observed in case you want to re-schedule your Audiocon (note: The changing of the actual date of session depends on the availability of conferencing units). You shall be charged with a corresponding cancellation or rescheduling fee.
  9. How do I make sure that I do not extend beyond the session time / duration I reserved?
    Your Audiocon session will be automatically terminated as soon as you have already consumed your reserved session time. This ensures that you will not be charged an extra amount. In this manner, we advise you to wrap-up your Audiocon 15 minutes prior to actual end time.
  10. What happens if I am a prepaid Audiocon Host, and I cancelled my session 24 working hrs before actual session?
    You can no longer refund the setup fee which you paid for. This will be treated as cancellation fee equivalent to that of setup fee.
  11. I am a post paid Audiocon Host. I noticed that my PLDT Audiocon bill, which reflects the Set-Up Fee is ahead of my regular PLDT monthly statement of account. Why is this so?
    Your PLDT Audiocon bill, which reflects the Set-Up Fee, is handled immediately after your Audiocon session is completed. Processing is done manually. All corresponding toll charges shall reflect on your regular PLDT monthly statement of account depending on your regular billing cycle.
