Create a conference call by releasing privacy

With a line programmed with privacy, you can turn privacy off to allow another person with the
same line to join in your conversation and form a conference. All the rules for a conference apply
but there is one line in use, instead of the normal two. This means that you cannot split a
conference set up using Privacy.
