Hi,
In the cork club we were experimenting with conference calling on the iPad,
iPod and iPhone using Facetime.
I see from a google search, that IOS does not let you use Facetime
conference calling. We did find that we could call two phones using Facetime
but that we could only swap between the two called devices but not merge
them into a conference call.
This raised the question:
"Could we conference using land or mobile direct calls?"
Perhaps some members could have a go using landline or mobile calls (not
Facetime!) and see if the conference calling functions as described below.
The key to knowing if it works is the presence of a "Merge" button.
Here are the basic instructions for what it is worth. Please note that we
did not find a "Merge" option with our Facetime experiment this morning!
Taken from a Google search on the Web:
The iPhone lets you merge up to five calls at a time to turn them into a
conference call. Making a conference call on your iPhone may be easier than
getting those same five people in a room at the same time.
Start by making a call and then placing the caller on hold. Tap Add Call to
make another call and then Merge Calls to bring everybody together. Repeat
this exercise to add the other calls.
1 Make a call.
2 Tap Add Call and dial in the second phone number. The first call recipient
will be placed on hold
3 Tap Merge Calls to connect both parties together
4 Repeat steps two and three to add more people to the conference.
OTHER TIPS FOR IPHONE CONFERENCE CALLING
Here are some other conference call titbits:
.
iPhone is actually a two-line phone, and one of the available lines can be
involved in a conference call.
.
If you want to drop a call from a conference, tap Conference and then tap
the red circle with the little picture of the phone in it that appears next
to the call. Tap End Call to make that caller go bye-bye.
.
You can speak privately (one-on-one) with one of the callers in a
conference. Tap Conference, and then tap Private next to the caller you want
to go hush-hush with. Tap Merge Calls to bring the caller back into the
Conference so everyone can hear him or her.
.
You can add a new incoming caller to an existing conference call by tapping
Hold Call + Answer followed by Merge Calls.
All the best,
Cearbhall
