What is a 3-Way Conference Call?

With Call Conference, you can promptly bring in a third person and continue the in-progress conversation. There’s no need to hang up and arrange a separate three-way conference call when you have a call-in number and password.

How do 3-Way Conference Calls work?

Three-way calling can be easily accomplished during any phone call with a few keystrokes on your Desktop, Mobile App or VoIP phone, allowing a third party to seamlessly enter your call. If you choose, you can even hang up and let the other two parties continue on the call that you initiated. The exact procedure to initiate a three-way call will vary, depending on the type of phones you have.
