Part III: Going Multimedia with Your Storm
Having two people on the phone with you is also known as three-way calling.
If you want to chat with four people — or even ten people — at the same
time, you certainly can. Simply repeat Steps 2–5 until all the participants are
on the phone.
Talking privately to a conference
participant
During a conference call, you might want to talk to one person privately. This
is called splitting your conference call. Here's how you do it:
1. While on a conference call, press the menu key and touch-press Split
Call.
A pop-up screen lists all the conference-call participants.
2. Touch-press the person you want to speak with privately.
This puts all other participants on hold and connects you to the par-
ticipant you selected. On the display screen, you can see who you're
connected to; this confirms that you chose the right person to chat with
privately.
3. To talk to all participants again, press the menu key and touch-press
Join Conference.

Alternating between phone conversations

Whether you're in a private conversation during a conference call or you're
talking to someone while you have someone else on hold, you can switch
between the two conversations by swapping them. Follow these steps:
1. While talking to someone, press the menu key and touch-press Hold.
That person is put on hold.
2. Press the menu key and touch-press Swap.
You switch from the person with whom you're currently talking to the
person who was on hold.
3. Repeat Step 2 to go back to the original conversation.
