Three Way Calling

<< Back to Calling Features Instructions

How it works:

When you are talking with someone, you can add a third person to the call. Cost of Three Way Calling is $2.00 for residence and $3.00 for business per month.

To add a third person to the call:

1. Press and quickly release the "switchhook" to place the first person on hold.
2. Listen for dial tone.
3. Dial the third person’s phone number. (If you have speed dialing, you may dial one of your codes instead.)
4. When the third person answers, you can talk privately before making it a three-way conversation.
5. To make the three-way conversation, press and quickly release the "switchhook." You can now talk with both people at the same time.

To cancel the three-way conversation:

1. If the third person did not answer or you wish to disconnect them, just press and quickly release the "switchhook". You will be reconnected to the person holding.
2. If either person hangs up, you can continue talking with the remaining person.

To end the call completely:

1. Simply hang up.

Note:

  • The "switchhook" is the button the handset pushes down when you hang up the phone. Some telephones have a Link or Flash key you can press instead.
