Conference

Conference allows you to talk simultaneously with multiple parties in an ad hoc
meeting.
When you are talking on a call, use Conference to dial another party and add them
to the call.
If you have multiple phone lines, you can alternately use Conference to combine two
calls across two lines. For example, if you have a call on Line 1 and a call on Line 2,
you can combine the calls into a conference.
As the conference host, you can remove individual participants from the conference.
The conference ends when all participants hang up.
