Making Conference Calls
Your Cisco Unified IP Phone allows you to combine three or more separate calls into one 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 conference in different ways, depending on your needs and the
programmable buttons or softkeys available on your phone:
• Confrn or Conference—Use this softkey or programmable line button 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. (SCCP phones only)
• 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 28, 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 30, for additional instructions.
