Samsung Gusto: Three-way or conference calling?

I have a Samsung Gusto prepaid phone on Verizon. What I want to know is, is it possible to initiate three-way or conference calling from this particular phone? And if so, how do I go about doing that?
Thank you.
Brandon Taylor

I don't know for sure if it is possible, but here's how to do it if it is:
Call the first person. Then hit the send button again (this puts the first person on "hold") and call the second person. When you are connected to person #2, hit send again, and this should connect all three of you, if you have 3-way calling enabled.  Be aware that you, as the initiator of the call, will have twice the minutes taken out of your account for the duration of the call, as you are connected to two different calls at the same time.
You can also look into http://www.instantconference.com/ or http://www.freeconferencecall.com/index.asp for more robust conference call options.

  • Three-way or conference calling?

    Heyo.
    Searchings the forums for the terms "3-way", "three-way", and "conference" yielded nothing so here goes.
    Can FaceTime do three-way (or more) video chats?
    Thanks,

    Ok, thank you!
    That's what I thought but the person at the Apple store "swore" it did.
    Glad I double-checked.

  • Three-way video conference MAC with AIM

    Are you able to do a three-way video conference with 2 users with AIM accounts with one who has MAC accounts?
    The person with the MAC account shows up not stacked to indicate multi-video conference.
    Just Wondering

    Hi DB in NB,
    It depends on...
    Are they all using iChat 3
    Do they have an Internet connection in excess of 384kbps both up and down ?
    (there are some variants if the download is quicker that will allow you to have 256K up)
    Do they have a Mac over a G4/1Ghz single processor
    Is the one to be the Host a G4/1Gz Dual or greater ?
    If they all fill this criteria and one does not show stacked icons then it needs some maintenance.
    They should make sure the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab is set to 1.5Mbps
    They should run the Cron scripts if they are not sure

  • One-way video for conference call?!

    My place of work is looking for a way to have a one-way video conference call. So one person (administrator) would be seen by all on the conference call. (No need to see othe participants). If this is possible, how many people can be on the conference call? 25?
    If it's not possible, anyone no of any web conferencing programs that have something with this capability?
    Many thanks.

    You should be able to call them normally (p2p or group) then enable your webcam for them to see you.  If the people you are calling are incapable of viewing a video stream due to their computer's processor (non SSE2 or non-video capable mobile processor) or because they have an older Skype client, then video could be disabled for the group call.  Not having a webcam would not be the main issue.  Also if you are standard phone calling them in the group there would be no way for them to see you either.

  • 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?

  • N95-1 three way calling problem

    I had 3 way calling feature before firmware update. After update . I can no loger be able to use that. (eg. while talking with a friend, if I dial the 3rd person, I can join the 2lines by pressing the green call button). After update, pressing call button doesn't join the 2 calls any more. It puts on hold the first call. If I press the call button again, it puts the 2nd person on hold and vice versa.Three of us can never be able to talk to each other at the same time as I used to. I updated the FW again no diffrence. My conference call works. I activated my call waiting. called my network operater and confirmed with them that my call waiting feature still actived. can any one help me?

    Hey has anyone split up a  3-way call after initiating it.  I had the iphone for AT&T and I would simply tap conference and end call.  This is very helpful when you have someone on the phone and get someone else's voice mail.  I had american express after waiting for this person, I called the merchant and got their answering machine.   I then had to hang-up and was forced to hang up on all parties having to start all over again   
    I called and they told me after 20 min of research that this is not available with iPhone 4 CDMA.  Why not it is on my verizon blackberry so it is not a CDMA thing.  It is also available on my iphone for AT&T so it is not a phone thing.  Verizon/Apple please explain or at least offer a solution!!!
    I think this the first bug with conference calling. See the wired review article:

  • Can i do a three way call using facetime?

    Can I do three way calling using facetime on my ipad??

    Hi Teach,
    Unfortunately conference calls are not an application that Facetime supports.  In my opinion, it would probably not work very well with personal Lan networks because it would require too much bandwidth, since streaming video does require quite a bit of it.  So for now, it has to be one on one.

  • HTC ThunderBolt Three-Way Calling

    Hi everyone. I've searched the forum but haven't found a topic that discusses this problem I have. When I'm using three way calling feature  on the Thunderbolt and want to disconnect just one call and continue with the other, the device drops both calls instead of just one. I checked the user manual and it says that I just need to select the call that I want to end press end call. For some reason both calls end. Has anyone else experienced this problem? 

    Hi everyone!
    There is much confusion on whether this is by design or a flaw and whatnot. And some of the confusion may be mine. 
    Let me say first, my post on another thread that has been copy/pasted here was about call waiting only. It had nothing to do with a three-way conference call. The call waiting feature is designed to have both calls end and the original call rings back in five seconds later. The original caller in that scenario doesn't know it's ringing back to you, they're still on-hold and when you answer the call-back, they are re-joining you.
    Now, in this thread about three-way calling, I believe what we are trying to correct (and establish something is wrong) is the 'private call' feature that allows you to basically end the 3-way call and go back to a two-way call with the first participant. And that function is not working properly, resulting in both calls ending.  I have a Thunderbolt and have never used the three-way conference call feature. And you can imagine the amount of people making use of this feature is far smaller than those making two-way calls. I only say that because internally we have nothing posted about this issue, making it hard to fix in any amount of software updates. I have tested three-way calling with two different thunderbolts and I have the same results. No 'Private Call' option.
    So, I will take this information and escalate to our product team for further investigation in hopes we can correct it in a future update!
    Please politely advise here if I'm way off base or not.
    Thank you so much!

  • UK calls to 0844 numbers and three way calling

    Can somebody help me please.
    Is there a Skype package available which includes calls to 0844 numbers? I am based in the UK and am due to be working on a project where i will be transferring customers through to an 0844 number to complete the process. I would also like to know if I can do three way calling on Skype when the other two callers are not on Skype but on ordinary phones.
    Thank you in advance.

    Currently there isn't a subscription that would cover calls to 0844 numbers in UK, but you can purchase Skype Credit and use it to pay for your calls.
    Keep in mind that calls to 0844 numbers are charged at higher rates:
    http://www.skype.com/intl/en/prices/payg-rates/?currency=GBP#cc=GB
    It is possible to make conference calls with ordinary phones.

  • Making group outside phone calls - Three Way Call...

    HI, I am a call first to someone from the UK. Then, I need to patch us into a US conference call number, so this is three way calling. All is done by outside phone calls using the Skype device through Skype credit. How does that work? Is that possible?

  • Three way calling..... Problems....!!!

    The problem is when you merge 2 parties into one; it is either you hear nothing at all from both parties, or you only can talk to 1 person putting the other person on hold. Simply, "merge" just does not work.
    I called at&t 10 times to find a solution, still no go.
    Talking to a service representatives did not help much. What they do is that they just remove 3 way call feature and put it back on to your account from their at&t system, or they suggest power cycle the phone, or call apple.(duh!) At times, it worked momentarily then voila, the same problem continues.
    Then I talked to a tech support, I do not know what it is called but the tech disconnected my iPhone 3g from the network and reconnected it. She said this process is different from partial remove/add features that customer support rep did, it was rather total reset from the network.
    Right after the talk with tech support, I was able to connect & merge 3 people (my friends) together that I could not before. Next day, I tried three way calling for the same 3 people but it did not work ever since.
    I test called three way call today, calling 611 and Apple iPhone support number 800-694-7400, and it works! However, problem still exists when I try to connect my friends, the same 3 people mentioned above. What gives?
    Does the problem have something to do with my friends' carriers? One has T-mo, the other one has Helio, and the third has vonage VOIP home service.
    Please let me know.

  • Three way calls issue

    Hello,
    I am having difficulty with my phone. First problem. I can make three way calls, but I can't end a call with one person without having to end the call with both individuals. I was on a very important phone call today, long distance, and this really messed me up! Second, when someone calls me, and I put that person on hold to answer another incoming call, when I end the conversation with that incoming call I have to hang up on the other caller on hold!
    I have Verizon. Does any one else have this problem??
    Please help. It is so frustrating.

    Verizon is a CDMA carrier, so your options are limited.  This describes (from the iPhone User Manual):

  • Three way call

    Is it possible to drop a caller during a three way call without having to as them to hang up on their own? Is this a limitation of VERIZON's service?

    If YOU made the call you should be able to hang up.  If someone else made the 3-way connection I wouldnt think so.
