# Conference Calls

> Bring a third person into your call and manage the conference from your phone

## Overview

A conference call joins you and two (or more) other people into one conversation. The most common use is simple: you're on a call, and you want to bring in a colleague, or dial a customer and a supplier together.

## Starting a conference

**Button phones (T46 / T54)**

1. Place or answer your first call.
2. Press the **Conference** soft key. The first call is placed on hold.
3. Dial the second person's number and press the **Send** soft key.
4. When they answer, press **Conference** again. All three of you are now in the call together.

### Managing the conference

* **Split**: press the **Split** soft key to break the conference into two separate held calls, so you can speak to each person privately.
* **Manage**: press the **Manage** soft key, highlight a person, and you can mute them (**Far Mute**), hold them (**Far Hold**), or **Remove** them from the call.
* **End**: press the **End Call** soft key to finish the conference for everyone.

**Touch screens (T48 / T57)**

1. Place or answer your first call.
2. Tap **Conference**. The first call is placed on hold.
3. Dial the second person's number and tap **Send**.
4. When they answer, tap **Conference** again. All three of you are now in the call together.

### Managing the conference

* **Split**: tap **Split** to break the conference into two separate held calls, so you can speak to each person privately.
* **Manage**: tap **Manage**, choose a person, and you can mute them (**Far Mute**), hold them (**Far Hold**), or **Remove** them from the call.
* **End**: tap **End Call** to finish the conference for everyone.

> [!NOTE]
>
> If you hang up, the conference normally ends for everyone. Use **Split** first if you want to drop out but let the other two keep talking as separate calls you can rejoin.

## Frequently asked questions

**Can I add more than two other people?**

The everyday flow above covers three-way calls, which is what most people need. Newer models support larger local conferences: repeat the **Conference** steps to add another person. For regular meetings with several attendees, ask us about a dedicated conference solution.

**One of the callers is very quiet or has background noise. Can I do anything?**

Yes. Use **Manage** and mute the noisy participant (**Far Mute**) while they're not speaking.

**Can I conference in a mobile number?**

Yes. Any number you can dial, you can conference: extensions, landlines, and mobiles.
