Arranging Conference Calls

To have two (or more) people on the phone with you — the infamous confer-
ence call — do the following:
1. Use the Phone application to call the first person.
2. While the first participant is on the phone with you, touch-press the
Add Participant button on the screen (refer to Figure 14-3, earlier in
this chapter).
This automatically places the first call on hold and brings up a New Call
screen.
3. Type the phone number of the second person.
You can dial the number by using the onscreen number pad, by select-
ing a number from your call log, or by accessing it from your Contacts.
4. Press the green send key.
The call to the second meeting participant is just like any other phone
call (except that the first participant is still on hold on the other line).
5. While the second person is on the phone with you, press the menu
key and touch-press Join Conference, as shown in Figure 14-4.
This connects the first and second participants. Now you can talk with
both participants at the same time.
