Making Conference Calls

Your Cisco Unified IP Phone allows you to join three or more people into one telephone conversation,
creating a conference call.

Understanding Types of Conference Calls

There are two types of conference calls: Standard and Meet-Me.
Standard Conference Calls
You can create a standard conference in different ways, depending on your needs and the softkeys
available on your phone:
• Confrn—Use this softkey 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 in
progress on one line.
• 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 the "Starting and Joining a Standard Conference" section on page 27 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 the "Starting or Joining a Meet-Me Conference Call" section on page 28 for additional
instructions.
