How to Use iPhone for Conference Calls

The iPhone is a cell phone created by the Apple Corporation. Making a conference call with an iPhone is easy once you have the right information and a little practice. Use the iPhone to merge up to five different phone calls into one for your teleconference.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Turn on your iPhone and make the first call.

2. Hit the "Add Call" button on your phone's screen. The first call is put on hold temporarily. This allows you to speak with the second line privately before the calls are merged into a conference call.

3. Call the other conference call participants using the same process. If other participants are calling you, put the other calls on hold. Choose "Answer" and then select the "Merge" option.

4. Merge all of the calls into one conference call. To do this, select "Merge Calls." At this point, you may start the conference call.

5. Drop a call from the conference. Tap the "Conference" button and then select the red phone symbol next to the person you want to drop from the call. Choose "End Call" to drop them from the conference.

6. Talk one-on-one with someone in the conference. Select the "Conference" button and hit "Private" next to the person you want to talk with. Press the "Merge Call" button to return to the conference.

Tips & Warnings

• Merge the calls one at a time as you call them or once they are all on hold.
• The iPhone has two lines for each phone, but only one line can be used for a conference call at one time.
