Basic Call Handling Making Conference Calls Your Cisco Unified IP Phone allows you to join three or more people into one telephone conversation, creating a conference call. Understanding Types of Conference Calls There are two types of conference calls: Standard (ad hoc) and Meet-Me. Standard Conference Calls You can create a standard (ad hoc) conference in different ways, depending on your needs and the softkeys available on your phone: • Confrn-Use this softkey to establish a standard conference by calling each participant. Standard conference calling is a default feature available on most phones. • Join-Use this softkey to establish a standard conference by joining several calls already on one line. • cBarge-Use this softkey to add yourself to an existing call on a shared line and to turn the call into a standard conference call. This feature is available only on phones that use shared lines. See Starting and Joining a Standard Conference, page 33 for additional instructions. Meet-Me Conference Calls You can create a Meet-Me conference by calling the Meet-Me phone number at a specified time. See Starting or Joining a Meet-Me Conference Call, page 35 for additional instructions. Starting and Joining a Standard Conference A standard conference allows at least three participants to talk on a single call. If you want to... • Create a conference by calling participants • Add new participants to an existing conference Then... 1. From a connected call, choose Options > Confrn. 2. Enter the participant's phone number. 3. Wait for the call to connect. 4. Choose Options > Confrn again to add the participant to your call. 5. Repeat to add additional participants.
