Conference call in Calendar Z10

Hello,
On the BB Torch it was possible to set up a conference call in the calendar, this included an automatic dialing an code (with a time delay), which was very convinient to join telephone conferences during travelling.
Is that not possible anymore with the BB Z10?
When is that feature available?

No, it's not possible at this time. Hopefully, some of the missing features return in future updates.

How to make a call from calendar using a number in my calendar?

One of the few frustrating things about the iphone is how I cannot seem to find a way to dial a conference call number that is in my calendar nor dial the passcodes required for most business conference calls. In my case, I am synchronizing with Outlook Exchange. Unlike a number that appears in email being automatically "clickable," the lengthy and hard to remember 1-888 numbers and the pass codes show up as just text. Is there a workaround or an app to help with dialing into conference bridges? Otherwise, even with the power of an iPhone 4, I am still writing pass codes and numbers on napkins in the car. Thanks for any tips!!

I also do a lot of conference calls and was so frustrated by this that I wrote an app to solve this exact issue. It queries the calendar and does pattern matching against the text in the calendar item, including the location field, and presents them so you can dial them directly. Apparently this is not an uncommon complaint. It has been selling pretty well. Check it out at: http://itapless.com/products

Conference call number and code in email on iOS 7

I get emails inviting me to a conference call which typically has a 1-800 telephone number followed by a few lines later for the participant code.
e.g.,
Dial in: 1-866-123-xxxxx
Host Code: 123484xx
Participant Code: 237284xx
If this info were in the iPhone's calendar invite, I know there are apps like Tempo in the App Store that can parse calendar invites and give you the option to dial:
Host: 1-866-123-xxxxx,,123484xx or
Participant: 1-866-123-xxxxx,,237284xx
What's the solution for email? The iPhone recognizes 1-866-123-xxxxx as a dialable number, but how do I get the Code pasted? I've tried copying and pasting the Code but there's no place to paste it in after the call is in progress.
Is the only workaround to copy paste into a calendar invite and then use Tempo to figure it out?

Check Settings App > General > Text size to see if the slider has been moved one way or the other.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Using conference call dial in numbers with iPhone

On my old Blackberry I used to be able to call a conference call dial in number and it was set up so that it would dial both the 1-800 number and then the participant code for the conference call. Anyone know if it's possible to do the same with the iPhone? Of course, with my Blackberry I was dialing in through clicking on the number in the actual meeting invite whereas with the iPhone I am dialing into a number in my contacts list since the iPhone is not yet compatible with Lotus Notes. Speaking of which, I've heard rumors before that the iPhone will one day be compatible with Lotus Notes. Anyone know when that might be? I've ditched the Blackberry but not having my email/calendar/contacts synced with my work system is a big pain.
Back to the conference call question, I tried seeing if I could add a pause after dialing the 1-800 number so that it would dial the meeting password after connecting but that didn't work, even when I added like 10 pauses.

CUCM does not have this capability, if you forcefully need users to enter a pwd you'd need to look into MP or do some UCCX/UCCE scripting for this.
You can use Unity/CUC as a middle man so you can use a supervised transfer and then Unity will let you choose if you want to let someone in or send them to VM, but it won't ask for any passcode.

Unable to diall corparate tollfree conference calls

Please help with case. Issue description is as follows.
1. My Z10 handset and my airtel SIM together - unable to dial conference calls that start with 000 800 ** ****
2. My airtel sim in another handset, works
3. Another SIM in my Z10 Handset works.
Any help is appreciated.

Hey vattokutraj,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
This issue can be resolved by your network service provider. I would suggest getting a new SIM card from airtel.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Problem disconnecting a participant in call waiting and conference calls.

I have a Z10 running 10.3.2 on Verizon. I have not found a way to hang up on one caller in a call waiting or conference call without disconnecting all calls. The only option the screen offers is the end call button. I can switch between callers and merge calls just fine but if I try to end one of those calls, it will disconnect all participants and end the call completely. Does anybody have a solution to this?

Ok. So I completely forgot about this until the flag I put on the problem came up.
So it is working now and as you suggested I called Telusand they "pushed" the SIM and refreshed the switch "in the back". Have no clue what either of those actions entails the critical item being that it now works.
Thanks

Did you know that the carrier Verizon offer the merge conference call or internet while on call on the iphone? Only AT

Did you know that you can't use the merge function on a iPhone 4s with Verizon Wireless? They blocked the function only AT&T has it, also Verizon doesn't allow browsing the Internet while on a call like AT&T, huge mistake Verizon. For people that conference call, don't get tricked into changing carriers until Verizon changes this feature.

Not sure about the merging of calls, but being able to browse the internet while on a call can't be done with CDMA technology -- so it's not that Verizon doesn't allow it, it just can't be done on their network. This is old news ...

Hey D.j.,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. The following article will go over the Conference features and will provide some help.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ta38608
If you continue to have issues with the Conference feature, the next step would be to reset settings or backup and restore the device and setup as new. To reset settings on the device: Settings > General > Reset All Settings
If you need to restore your iPhone, the following article will assist with this.

Hi I use my phone for conference calls and use the microphone jack to connect to speakers. It doesnt work when making phone calls but when i play music on the phone the jack works with the external speaker.

Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

Problems with conference calls(adding and merging calls) after upgrade to ios 8.1.2 on iphone 5s

I am having weird problem intermittently with adding calls or merging them or swapping them. The issue happens 8 out of 10 times whenever I try to do a conference call. This issue came up after I upgraded to 8,1.2. Never experienced this in 8.1.1 or previous version.
Some of the scenarios that I have experienced is:
1. While on the call, when I try to add a new contact, it just doesn't dial the second number.
2. Sometimes the second number gets dialed, cannot merge the calls.
3. After talking to the second person, cannot go back to the first call.
I am very sure that this is not a carrier issue as it worked flawlessly before upgrade.
Anyone experienced this before? Any suggestions?

Thanks for the above infromation. I did a complete restore of my iphone through iTunes connecting it to my computer via cable. iOS8.1.3 was re-installed. I then added back my settings and data which were backed up prior to restoring the phone. I still have the same issue with conferencing and adding a third caller. When I hit the [+] box, the existing caller is not put on hold. The phone appears to be making a call but it is not dialing to the 3rd party. Shortly thereafter, the Merge icon appears but there is no active call to merge with. I have tried this several times using my wife's iPhone and our home phone to set up a 3-way call. I know it is not working because the 3rd phone (our home phone) does not ring. Is this a hardware problem? My wife's iPhone 6 works with no problem and was purchased the same time I purchased my iPhone 6. Probably time for a visit to the Apple Store unless there is another solution.

Conference calls all of a sudden do not work??

We have a Call Manager 5.1 with MGCP controlled gateways. Out of no where our ablility to ad hoc conference call does not work. We connect the calls and no one can hear one another. Any suggestions as to what could be the cause? Any feed back would be great.

Why can I no longer connect a conference call?

Since the iOS 7 update, I am unable to connect to a conference call. Is this an ongoing problem?

It is similar to call waiting. The calls are swapped rather than connected.

Verizon recording cut into my conference call

Verizon recording cut into my conference call and everyone (100 people on the call) heard it. I was listening to the conference with the mute on (*6). My phone rang--which everyone heard--and the Verizon message that goes to the caller came on. Everyone on the conference call stopped talking as verizon said, "The person you are trying to call cannot be reached at this time. Please call later." This went over the conference call twice. Can I prevent this or is it a Verizon glitch?

Whilst I have no idea about Verizon ,I use a similar device in UK receiving cellular over broadband in property and I have wired broadband with unlimited use
However the device is certainly using bandwidth over my wired service when active
I would try to get a definitive does it or doesn't it and if not then they will cover any cost if they are wrong

Conference call failure

I am part of a non-profit that irregularly holds board meetings via a Skype audio conference call. We usually have 7-8 members, all free skype users, in on the calls, but on our last one we had 10. It was an utter failure. Most members could not hear all of the contributions made by others -- audio would cut out while they were speaking. Several couldn't hear anyone else talk for long stretches. At least one never heard anyone else at all. When we had conferences with the fewer number, one particular person had these kind of problems (which I attributed to her connection speed), but not everyone had them as happened this time. Even the host (chairman) was having the same difficulties. He thought we may have crossed some threshold in going from 8 to 10. After nearly an hour of struggling to make ourselves heard, we gave up on the audio and did a few crucial agenda items via chat before ending the call.
Would having the host of the conference call be a premium user possibly eliminate such problems, or do we have to address the Internet connection speed of the host? (Or both, maybe?)
It is really difficult for this non-profit to get its board members together at one time. It can take a month or more to re-schedule after a failure like this. We need something reliable, which was why we chose Skype in the first place.

What protocol are you running on the GW??
MGCP? H323?
If H323, have you properly configured the codecs??? H323 uses G729 by default if nothing is configured.
CUCM CFB only supports G711 and for MOH to work with other codecs you need to enable them under IPVMS service parameters.

CONFERENCE CALLS DONT WORK ON OS 7 ALONG WITH RESPOND WITH TEXT WHILE ON A CALL

BEFORE UPDATING MY IPHONE 5 TO OS 7, I COULD MAKE OR ADD ON UNLIMITED CONFERENCE CALLS.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER UPDATING NOW I CAN ONLY CALL ONE PARTY AND ADD ONE MORE ON TO THE CALL. SO BASIC THREE WAY CALL.
ALSO I HAVE NOTICE AFTER UPGRADING THAT IF I WAS ON A CALL AND ANOTHER CALL CAME IN I COULD BRIDGE THE TWO CALLS TOGETHER. THAT IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE IN OS 7.
MY CARRIER IS VERIZON AND I SPOKE TO THEM IN REGARDS AND THEY NOTE I AM NOT RESTRICTED ANYWAY SINCE I AM A COMPLETE UNLIMITED USER.
THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE NOTICE RIGHT AFTER THE UPGRADE THAT YOU CAN NO LONGER RESPOND TO A INCOMING CALL IF YOUR ON A CALL WITH "RESPOND WITH TEXT" THIS ONLY WORKS NOW IF YOUR NOT ON THE PHONE WHICH YOU CAN RESPOND WITH TEXT.
I WAS HOPING BY NOW APPLE WOULD HAVE A PATCH FOR THESE ISSUES, I CAN NOT BE THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THEM WITH OS 7.

Please stop YELLING!
MMS messages and iMessages require a data connection. Due to the nature of Verizon's network, you can not access cellular data while on a call.
As for conference calling, call Verizon back and escalate the call until you get someone who understands the word "provisioning". Have them re-provision your account.
