No, just pick up the phone and use the service when you want to.

How secure is the service?

The service is as secure as the PIN you use. The PIN can be between 6 and 10 digits long. The chance of somebody else choosing the same 10 digit PIN is 1 in a billion! Even if somebody did have the same PIN, they would need to dial in at exactly the same time as your conference was being held, so you can see that the open conference service is very secure!

Of course, common and shorter PIN's are more at risk, as other people may already be using them e.g. 123456, 111111 etc, so they should be avoided if you are concerned about security.
