Can I hold an audio only meeting?

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Is it possible to start a scheduled meeting by telephone?.

We have a meeting where everybondy will join the meeting by telephone. Is it possible to start the meeting by telephone? So that we don't have to open a computer to start the meeting.
if so, how can we set this up?

Does GTM always issue a random phone number for the organizer's use in setting up a meeting?  Other conference call services that I've used issue a set number and pin. Also, can I just use GTM for conference voice calls without the camera, screen sharing, and other options?

@guesthousegreg  Phone numbers are initially assigned on a per-meeting basis, depending on which phone lines are expected to have the best performance in those localities or countries.  If you schedule a Recurring GoToMeeting, then the phone number will not change unless you edit the audio for that meeting again later.

One example of a static dial created when you set up the Organizer account would be for your personalized Meet.Me meeting.  Unless you include OpenVoice Toll-Free numbers with your account, you may dial into any listed phone number as soon as you finish the scheduling process --- without the need to launch any software.

Did you get an answer to this question? I'm trying to do the same thing when I'm not in my office.

@Trone  My last comment should answer the thread concerns, but let me know if your case is any different. 

** GoToMeeting does not need the endpoint software to activate the integrated toll-dial-up conference call.
