N-way calling is an extension of 3-way calling and is more flexible, dynamic, and simpler to use than conference calls. It is, in effect, ad hoc conferencing. Users can dynamically add callers, and since there is no call owner, any user—including the originator—can drop out at any time. The maximum number of callers you can have on an n-way call is determined by your Service Provider.
Using n-way calling, you can set up a phone call among several parties.
To activate N-way calling, follow these steps:
This places the first call on hold, and selects an available Line Appearance.
The LCD prompts you to enter who to "CONFERENCE with:"
The system dials the number and displays a "Calling" message along with the caller ID.
When the n-party answers the call, the LCD updates with the caller ID.
The n-way call is now activated. The LCD display on all parties’ phone shows “n-Way Call”, where n is the number of the parties in the conference.
