How to make a conference call from your iPhone

If your network provider supports it, you can set up a conference call on your iPhone with up to five people.

The number of participants on a conference call – as well as the ability to add, merge or disconnect individual callers – depends on your network provider. Contact your network provider for more information about your conference call options.

How to start a conference call

  1. Dial the first person and wait for the call to connect.

  5. The two calls merge into a conference call. To add additional people, repeat steps 2-4. If you can’t see the option to add another call, you may have reached the limit of participants for your network provider.

Only the person who started the conference call can see the names of all participants. But if a participant adds someone else, they can see the name of the person they added and the person who started the conference call.

If you can't see the merge call option, your network provider may not support it. Contact your network provider for more information about your conference calling.

In addition to setting up a conference call on your iPhone, you can use Group FaceTime to talk to multiple people at the same time.
