About conference calls

You can create two types of conference calls with your BlackBerry® device. If your organization or a conferencing service has

provided you with a conference call bridge number, you can create conference call meetings in the calendar on your device or

computer. Conference call meetings allow participants who have a BlackBerry device to enter the conference call meeting with

a one-touch Join Now option, if this feature is supported on their device, so that they do not have to dial the conference call

bridge number and access codes. If you do not have a conference call bridge number, you can create a conference call by

calling other contacts and joining the calls together.

Make a conference call

Depending on your wireless service provider or your wireless service plan, this feature might not be supported.
If your BlackBerry® device is connected to a CDMA network, you cannot join more than two contacts to a conference call.
1. During a call, press the

key > Add Participant.

2. Type a phone number or highlight a contact.
3. Press the

key.

4. During the new call, press the

key to join your first contact to the conference call.

5. To join another contact to the call, repeat steps 1 to 4.
