Multiple calling in, conference call

Hi,
If I buy an Online Number can multiple people phone it in order for me to create a conference call - to explain:
I have 4 people on skype, on a conference call.
1 person phones in on my Online Number, I add them to the conference call.
another person calls in on the same Online Number, can I add them as well, or will the line appear to be engaged?
Thanks -
M

Did you get a response on this from Skype?

Note 4 - Calling waiting/conference call issues

Is this a defect in the new note? I am in able to end calls when answering a call (i.e. call waiting/conference calls). The other person can hang up but my phone will still say they are on hold. Which on turns holds up my free line.
I find this rather annoying. Will this problem be corrected in an update?

Did you get a response on this from Skype?

Drop caller from conference call using Agent Desktop

Is there any way to drop a caller from a conference call using the Agent Desktop like we can do with the ConfList on the physical phone?

No there is not.

Call Waiting / Conference call / Call Held Notification

I do not get a notification saying Call waiting when i call other person who is on another line. Other phones have the notification where it show is a conference is active or if your call is on hold. Is there a way for me to get this notification on my Iphone.

I'm not sure I quite understand what it is you are asking. Of course, not many others have either, that is why you didn't get a reply to the first time you posted this. It wasn't necessary to post a second time, you could have just bumped the first post.
If I understand you correctly, you are expecting some type of notification on your phone when you call someone else and they are on their phone? Generally, unless they have call waiting, you get a busy signal. If they have call waiting, you can hear the phone ringing in your ear, but unless the other party answers, you get no type of notification. I've never heard of any type of notification like that before. My guess would be to contact the carrier, but again, this is something I've never heard of before.
Or are you referring to you getting a call waiting tone on your phone if you are using the phone and someone else calls you?

Call merging (conference calling) not working on iOS 8.1 & iPhone 6 (VZW)

Hello Everyone. I've discovered a problem with call merging on my new Verizon iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1). When I add a caller and then hit the merge call button after the second caller answers, the screen says that the calls are now merged. However, the original caller is still on hold and cannot join the call. This problem seems to exist regardless of whether any of the callers in question have CallerID blocking or not. Also, when placing a call on hold to answer an incoming call, I have access to switch calls button, but not the merge calls button.
Has anyone else experienced this glitch? Is there a solution or work-around?
Thanks,
Jamie

I have the same problem with T-Mobile, but this must be an Apple thing! Why do they feel the need to fix ring tones but screw up more important things like Bluetooth and Call Merging???? Seriously, their rein at the top won't last with this BS!

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.

Conference call.. what does this mean

I accepted a call from a friend and i was looking through the call logs and scrolled through the history and it said that call was a 'conference call'. What does this mean.
I'm used to seeing 'placed call, missed call, received call"

A conference call is a call between three or more people. Your friend may have inadvertently hit the conference call feature and only added you to the call or it is possible there was a third person listening in.

Playing Annoucement to called party before conference call starts

Hi,
I have an interesting requirement here.
My customer wants to play annoucement to the participants of adhoc and meet me conference before bridging them in call. The announcement would be something like this "This call will be recorded, press 1 if you want to join the conference press 0 to hang up". If caller presses '1' then the he should be bridged.
Is it possible to use IVR server for this??
For the adhoc conference this is what I thought:
The conference initiator calls an a number to initiate IVR Script, the script asks him to enter the number to be called(conference participant's number), then the IVR script places call on this number(use "place call function"), once the recipient answers the call, IVR will announce the prompt to him "This call will be recorded, press 1 if you want to join the conference press 0 to hang up".
Questions:
1.Now how to merge this call with the conference initiator call(as conference call) if recipient presses 1??
2.What treatment can be given to the conference call initiator, for the suration when IVR is placing call out? Can we give him some hold music??
2.Is there any better way? Can I use "Call Consult Transfer" function instead of place "call function"??
3.Will it be easier/possible to use Unity instead of IVR server for this?
4.How can the same be done for meetme conference??
Thanks

yes that works to use the new contact which set by 'set contact info' step.
So now I am able to play prompt to called number after the call been connected.
But I found I couldn't collect entered digit by Called person if I use Menu step.
For instance, if I use 'Menu' to collect the digit from Called person, then when enter '1', redirect the original (or this new) call flow to reception.
My sub steps within Menu step (using new contact session) seems no working.
Any thoughts?
General idea is: I can use IVR to place outbound calls, play prompts, then collect digits from called party and make sub call flows decision.
Thanks

Entering a Pin# for a conference call

I am trying to call a conference call with a pin#. The call connects and asks me for the pin#. I click on the dialpad icon and the diapad appears. I put the pin# in on the dial pad but the call just keeps asking me to enter the pin# even though I have already entered it. It simply is not recognizing the pin# I entered on the dial pad. Any suggestions on how to fix thiis?

I am having the same issues.

It started a few versions back.
I have been using Skype for years, I have a premium account.
It started while I was still using OS X Mountain Lion
It is still happening on OS X Mavericks
I am on the latest version of Skype for Mac v6.9 - (701)
I dial the number for a conference call.
I then bring up the dial-pad once the conference call instructions start.
It is truly intermittent from here. It will either not work, partially work, or not work at all.
I have tried using my number pad on my computer (which I used exclusively until I had issues)
I have tried holding down the keys longer
I have tried muting skype
I have tried using the mouse to select each number
Sometimes disconnecting from the call and calling back will work (not likely)
Sometimes exiting Skype entirely and reconnecting will work. (not always, but seems to help some.
I keep updating to the latest version to solve this rediculous issue but, of course, it doesn't.

Number of concurrent a/v conference calls, and its bandwidth consumed.

I have two central sites and multiple branch sites. Each central site has one Front End pool. we are planning to replace Lync 2013 servers for hosting meetings, conferences ( audio, video and web)
My manager wants to know the number of concurrent audio/Video conference calls that our Lync Front End pools can handle and the bandwidth consumed by these calls. Can anyone here help with this or point me to where to find the right tool. I have tried using
Bandwidth calculator, it was not working well for me.

For Audio, assuming G722 (without FEC) it will be about 96Kbps per stream. So in theory that would be
over 1000 calls on 100Mb, however that doesn't take into account any other traffic that would be on the link.
For H.264 Video it can be anywhere up to 4000Kbps (HD), but it's unlikely that all your end points would be running 1920x1080 resolution and they will all negotiate differently. So without knowing a lot about your environment I would say on average (which
is just that between min to max around 50 video streams) or 128-250 streams at lower resolutions - so traffic through phones and slow connections (320x180-16:9/ 212x160-4:3 to 640x360-16:9/640x480-4:3) and
25-50 streams at the higher resolutions. So HD cameras and rooms systems, etc. Once again not taking into account other things on the network.
With regards to the pool themselves, follow the hardware specifications required which you can check using the capacity planning tool http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36828 the
supported maximum however for a large conference on a single pool is 250 participants.
As I mentioned it's almost impossible to give definitive numbers because there are so many variables, but hopefully this helps a little.

IPhone 6 and 6 plus conference calling

Hello everyone, I'm waiting on my iPhone 6 plus from verizon to come in and I searched a bit for this answer but no one has clearly answered this. Now I know that the iPhone 6 and 6 plus has the advance 1.0 calling feature on it which we can now do HD calling and as well as 6 way calling but I just have a couple of questions.
1. Is it truly 6 way calling just like AT&T where I can do this with landlines and other networks or is it only with other phones on verizon with voLTE?
2. If I'm already on a call and a second incoming call comes in, am I able to merge that call to the existing line or I have to tell the caller to hang up and then I proceed to call everyone at once like all CDMA iPhones had done in the past for multiple calls?
Sorry if this has already been answered as I tried searching but haven't had much luck. Thanks guys!

Hey there, lilfool4lif3! Thanks for bringing your questions about conference calling to the Forum. I'm sorry that you've had any difficulty getting this straightened out. Although the iPhone 6 using iOS 8 can support conferencing with up to five other callers, this activity is not yet supported while using Advanced Calling. That said, the process if adding a caller while engaged in a call can be done by tapping the HOLD CALL Answer, and then tapping MERGE CALLS. Thanks!

Conference Calls

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to do the following on 4S: when I have a call going with one party and I add another party to the call, there isn't a way to drop the second party (as may be required for example if second party called goes into VM) without killing the whole call. Until recently I was using a Blackberry on VZW and could achieve this by using the "Flash" function in the call screen (so I know it is not a newtwork issue) - but there is no "Flash" function in the 4S calling screen. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
YO

you can't do this on verizon, not with the iphone 4s, or even with the iphone 5 or samsung galaxy 3s...it does not work on the latest and greatest phones or with CDMA or 4G LTE.
i'd be amazed if this actually works on a verizon blackberry - go to a store and have them demonstrate on a phone to verify. i bet it will not work.
this exact thing kills me every day. I do software sales and need to do multiple conference calls per day. if i have a colleague on the line, we try to call another person and get their VM, I have to hang up and re-call the colleague. it's a bummer.
my colleagues, even ones with the same phone as me, can all do these basic actions. i cannot, not even on my iphone 4s. i went to the verizon wireless store and the sales reps there tried to do these actions on their iphone 5 and samsung galaxy 3s. no dice. the network does not support advanced features of conference calling even on 4g lte.
these are some other limitations i struggle with every day with my phone related to conference calls:
you cannot select individuals on a call you initiate to drop them or mute them. you have to have them hang up (and hope they did not just mute and pretend to hang up).
you can only dial out to one person to do a conference call, so you are limited to doing only one 3-way call.
you also cannot add someone in to a current call...so if someone beeps in to a conversation, you can't add them into your current call to make it a 3-way call
also if you are on a call, someone beeps in and you put the original call on hold, then you return to that original call, you lose the option to do a conference call.

HT4534 video conference calling on face time

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 ...
