Establishing a Conference Call 47 ■ Until you press the Conference button (or Feature + 430) the second time, the second party remains on hold, and you may converse with the third party privately. ■ For a blind conference, press the Conference button (or Feature + 430) immediately after you dial the number. You return to the conference, and you and the second party hear the called party's telephone ringing. If the third party answers, three parties are now in the conference call.
