Revision history [back]

There should be a way to initiate conference call between multiple(up to at least 4) parties. Both starting new call and connecting it to the ongoing one, as well as connecting an incoming call to ongoing one.

EDIT 12.10.2014: Was originally How do I make a conference call?.

I can't figure out how to make a conference call with my phone and it's driving me crazy. I know if I pull down during a call I can put the current caller on hold or add another call, and I know that once I've added a second call, I can pull down again to switch back and forth between the calls. But how do I get both callers talking to me and each other at once? Is it really obvious and I'm being dumb, or is this feature (standard on boring ol' landlines since forever) not yet available, or what?

I appreciate any info anybody can give me about this.

Edit July 07, 2015: I think the add new calls feature was always available in the pulley menu. The option to merge calls to make a conference call is missing. As far as I know this feature is still not available in native sailfish os (unless you use the above patch). Even the patch only allows 2 calls to be merged, to make it a 3 party conference call. This is a very important feature and hopefully Jolla will add this to the core os.
