Did you know that you could create your own conference call with your BlackBerry® smartphone—without a separate conference call service? It is so easy and fast you will wonder how you lived without it.

Note: Please check with your wireless service provider for the number of contacts you can connect on one call.

Follow these steps to make your own conference call:

Using your BlackBerry smartphone, call a contact.



During the call, press the Menu key.

Click Add Participant.

Highlight the contact or type his or her phone number.

Press the Send key.

During the second call, press the Send key to join your first contact to the conference call.

To join another contact to the call, repeat steps 2 to 6 (if your carrier allows)

Click Transfer or Flash.

That’s all there is to it. Give it a try with two or three friends to see how easy it is.
