Group/conference call - limited to 3 contacts?

Hi there,
I have a LG 60PB6600 with a LG - AN-VC500 webcam. Both work great for making regular video and voice-only calls.
I recently tried to make a conference call with more than 4 contacts (including myself). To my dissapointment, Skype seems to have forcefully limited me to adding 3 other contacts. Within Skype, I click on the 'Conference Call', a menu appears with all my contacts of whom I can select. After selecting 3 contacts the remaining contacts grey out, not allowing me to select anymore. Is there anything I can do to add more contacts, or is this just something I am going to have to 'live with'?
cheers
David

At worst, you can always use the "Notes" field ...
I know you can set Work, Home and Other emails. I personally have never tried more than one "Other" per contact, but I did think this was possible.

HT4515 Conference Call using contacts that have a pause or wait in them

It seems the iPhone will not allow you to conference calls from your contact that have a pause or wait in them. Is there a workaround?
Steps to recreate the issue
1. Dial a number from your contact
2. Press add call to start a conference call
3. Select a number from your contacts that has a 'pause' or 'wait' in it
4. Only the first number will dial, the dialing does not resume with numbers after the pause; there is no option to dial the number after 'wait' either

Called support, no immediate answer but they are supposed to call me back after they speak with engineering.
I then started playing around with the contact some more...
It was (XXX) XXX-XXXX ,203 and it wouldn't dial. But without the extension and pause it did dial. I changed it to (XXX) XXX-XXXX ,2 and it dialed! Then I tried (XXX) XXX-XXXX ,20 and it still dialed. Finally (XXX) XXX-XXXX ,203 and it still worked. It dialed the extension and everything.
Then I deleted the number completely and re-entered it, with the pause and the extension and now it works fine! This contact was imported from MobileMe, so I am wondering if re-entering it directly on the phone might have fixed some invisible glitch in the number?

Cannot add people to Group Voice call Version 6.12...

Hi,
Currently with the latest version of skype now you cannot add people to the voice call if they have already been added to the conversation but were not able to answer the call at an earlier time. The only way for them to join the conversation is for them to call me. Before you were able to just simply click "Add to Call" on skype for Mac and now you cannot. Also this created issues last night as you are currenlty unable to remove people from conversations which is also a major limitation. So we had major issues last night trying to host a skype conference call.

Yes I have the same problem but when people call me I still can't add them in the group! What should I do??

Conference call feature

When Palm advertised two ways to conferenc call we assumed they were going to get it right. the first way is obvious, the second way they obviously got lost. it was assumed the software would allow a person to list the contacts, press send and simultaneously call them. this would allow for mass group calling more easily. i could only slightly grin when they demonstrated the second way to nake a conference call. check plam clips under help in your phone.

Hi Cooz0977,
According to your profile, you have an ATT Pre Plus. Something that's important to note is that in general, GSM and CDMA handle conference calling MUCH differently. The video's you're referencing have been up since the original Pre (CDMA only) and that is why the steps are different than on your phone.
To be honest, I find the conference call options on the ATT Pre Plus much better than the Verizon or Sprint ones. There's more control over individual calls. For example, on the CDMA versions, you can't hang up on individual callers once the conference has been initiated. You either hang up on both callers or ask one of the caller to hang up. Again, this is just due to how the technology handles conference calls.
As far as advertising two ways to conference call, I'm not really sure I've seen any of those advertisements. Also, I've never seen any documentation that says you can make two calls at once to conference them together. To my knowledge, no cell phone does this. Every cell phone I've ever used makes one call first, then a second call, and finally conferences them together. Can you point me out to the advertisement or documentation that said otherwise?

Group Video Call

Hello,
My company is exploring upgrading to Business Skype. We would like the ability to host Group Video Chats, the main concern here is, do the other parties need to also have business skype in order to participate in the Group Video Chat.
We would like to upgrade to Business Skype to have this functionality while not forcing our customers to have to upgrade. Please provide me with more information as well as rates/Subscription fees.
Thank you.

Hi HWSands,
The quick answer to your question is 'No'. Your customers do not have to business Skype accounts to join your Group Video Conference. Only the host is required to have the Group Video Calling subscription. The cost of group video calling is GBP£4.99 per month.
If you would like more information about how to use Skype in your business please get in touch.
I hope this helps.

Group Video Calling

Is Skype Premium to tool I need to have group video conferences for multiple offices. I want each office to see all other offices during the conference and I need to control and pay for the entire package from one account. Does it include Skype Manager and is it $9.99 per month for each office location or account. Example if I have 5 offices is it $9.99 per office. Can we also do desktop/screen sharing for document collaboration with this package.

Hello MerwynJohn. With group video calling you can get Send file, contacts, share your desktop, take a picture, or add people to the conversation. All everyone needs is the latest business version of Skype, a laptop and a webcam. Itʼs simple to use, group video calls can be between three or more people (up to a maximum of 10), and at least one person on the call needs a group video calling subscription. For the best quality, we currently recommend video calls with up to five people. For group video calling everyone on the call needs the latest version of Skype for Windows plus a webcam. You'll also need a high-speed broadband connection (we recommend sustained 512 kbit/s downlink or more) and a computer with a 1 GHz processor (minimum) or Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz (recommended). We also recommend a minimum of 1 GB memory and 2 GB memory for group video calls with up to five participants. I hope this answered your questions. If you have anymore just post them and I'll answer them for you. Beowolfv

Is it possible to use group video call for remote ...

Hi,
Please can it be possible using skype with Remote Access software like Logmein for "Power Point Presentation" in meeting of about from 9 attendees to about 50 attendees remotely parcipating same time in the online meeting and with ability of each attendees to either contribute or ask question through call or through writing that to be heard or see by all participants sametime.

Hi,
You can use Skype for the audio calling part of that conference for maximum audio quality. Keep in mind that a group audio call in Skype is limited to 25 participants max.
Logmein would be used in parallel for the interactive screenshare.

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.
iPhone 6; iOS 8.1.3; Carrier: Verizon

Problem with Conference Calls.

Dear Sony Community,
I phone someone, then I press the contacts icon, then I press the person I want to call and it then gives me an option of " merge " once reaching to the person I am calling.
After that, I press " merge " and it says " can't make conference call " or something along them lines.
Please help?
Thanks in advance.

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.

MeetingPlace conference call on CCM MoH

Has anyone seen this, or have any ideas? Have a MeetingPlace Enterprise 5.4.0 system and now and then, people on hold on Call Manager (multicast MoH) can here meetingplace conference calls when they are on hold with the CCM MoH playing. The people on the MeetingPlace Conference call do not hear the person on hold or the CCM music.
The Call Manager and Meetingplace are completely seperate servers. The Call Manager version is 4.1(3) SR4D if it helps.
The network is clean, no errors, and can't find where this problem is coming from. It does not happen all the time and doesn't happen on every meetingplace conference call.
I don't know much about Meetingplace, does it use Multicast for its audio conferences? I thought they were kept local to the audio server unit (?).

For the sake of closing out this question... The answer was found deep in a Cisco wiki post.
Suppressing Music-On-Hold
You can configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager to play music for the held party when users put a call on hold. However, if a user places a meeting on hold, the music plays into the meeting until the user retrieves the held call. To prevent this, you can configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager not to play music on hold for calls routed through Cisco Unified MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway.
Specifically, make sure you do not assign to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway a Media Resource Group List that includes any Media Resource Group that includes Music on Hold servers, as the MeetingPlace IP Gateway can join a multicast Music-On-Hold (MoH) group. Since MeetingPlace is a transmit/receive environment, being put on hold can mean meeting participants listen to MoH, as well meetings in progress to devices configured to participate in the multicast group, resulting unexpected and undesirable privacy breaches.
As an additional workaround/resolution, if the customer is using Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) Version 6.1 and later, verify the CUCM Service Parameter "Send Multicast MOH in H.245 OLC Message" is set to False.

How many people can be added to one conference call using verizon?

How many contacts can be used in one conference call?

Thank you, Meg. Appreciate the quick response.

Conference call on Iphone

I don't understand how to combine 2 calls for a conference call. I tried the Merge Call button (from memory, I think that is what it is called), and all it did was put one on hold and connect me to the other person, back and forth, it would not combine the calls.
Does it matter who calls in vs me calling out?
Can u walk me through the steps and are there any surprises?
thanks
bob

Check the iPhone manual, page 50 http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
From the Manual:
Conference Calls
You can talk to more than one person at a time, and merge up to five calls, depending on your carrier.
Note: Conference calling may be an optional service in some countries. Contact your carrier for more information.
Create a conference call:
1 Make a call.
2 Tap Add Call and make another call. The first call is put on hold.
3 Tap Merge Calls. The calls are merged on one line and everyone can hear each other.
There is also a graph there that lets you know about adding and dropping more, but I'll let you read that yourself.
Hope that answers your question.

Conference call CME 4.0

Hi guys
you know
how many consumers in conference call can participate on an only conference with cme 4.0?

Hi Marcello,
Ad Hoc Conferencing
Before Cisco Unified CME 4.1, support for conferencing is limited to three-party ad hoc conference calls using a G.711 codec. To have an ad hoc conference with a party that is not using a G.711 codec, transcoding is necessary.
In Cisco Unified CME 4.1 and later versions, multi-party ad hoc conferences allow more than three parties.
From this excellent CME doc;
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express System Administrator Guide - Configuring Conferencing
