Verizon conference calls iphone 5

I have switched from an ATT iphone 4s and LOVE verizon's call quality and speed of call-call connection. And I knew that I would have to sacrifice the no simultaneous data/voice party that ATT does.
That said, Verizon's conference call ability is AWFUL. With ATT you have full control over each call you are connected to, can drop only one at a time, switch etc.
with verizon it seems buggy to no end, even sticks on "conference" when a caller hangs up so you can't call someone else. very unimpressed and conference calling is extremely important for my business.
just making sure this is how it is rather than a glitch?

I hate the AT&T voice quality. Just bought the Verizon for comparison and found out:
1. Verizon voice is superior to AT&T
2. AT&T iPhone 5 setting has functions that Verizon iPhone 5 does NOT have such as call forwarding, call waiting, show caller ID, etc.
3. Verizon conference calling is primitive just as dreborn1982 has described. Further more, when you have an incoming call.... you can not conference anyone.... "merge" is simply gray
AT&T is so bad that last week I called them to disconnect and was willing to pay the penalty. They offered me the free microcell. I have installed it and the bars jumped from 1 to 5. As impressive as it looks, the calls were still so bad that I went to buy a Verizon iPhone 5.
The Quality of Verizon is noticeable immediately but the feature limitation is annoying.
I will probably prefer the Verizon quality with the limitation.

  • Business Conference Calling

    Need to organise a regular business conference call - likely to be 25 to 30 users. What is the best way to set this up? And what are the costs involved?

  • 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 ...

  • Do I get full conference call management options on iPhone 6 model A1549 if using it with GSM carriers?

    I have iPhone 6 model A1549, bought from and currently using with Verizon. You all must be aware that we can use the same phone for GSM carriers like at&t as well. Now we all know that some of the features related to conference calling are not available on CDMA carriers, like we cant have more than 2 callers, and we can't manage conference calls by making the conversation with one party private for some time and again switching back to conference mode, disconnecting a particular party instead of having to end the entire call etc. reference link- iPhone: Understanding phone features - Apple Support These features are available on GSM models and carriers, I just wanted to ask if I use a GSM SIM from a GSM carrier on this model, do I get these additional conference call management options or I am restricted to Verizon like experience while being on at&t (and while using the at&t SIM in this model)

    Yes, I am dealing with this right now on at&t with a 6 plus. I've been down the same road as you. I got it to work with a windows phone yesterday but not my 6 plus when I switched back to the iPhone. My wifes 6 works fine. I believe it is an at&t issue and not an 8.3 issue. After dealing through several levels of support at at&t, they are telling me it has to do with their transition to hd voice. Some people are having this issue because they are updating their system and some peoples phone profile, on phones that have hd voice capabilities, are not getting added to their line and call forwarding will not work without it. I have a trouble ticket open to their engineering dept and they promise it will work for me on or before the 24th of april. Engineering has to build my phones profile so call forwarding will work with my iPhone.
    This is frustrating because like you, I need to forward my calls because I have no signal in my office and need to forward to another phone so I can get my calls. If at&t would quit dragging their feet and enable wifi calling, this wouldn't be an issue for me. I would suggest you put more pressure on at&t and escalate this until it gets resolved. Or put your sim in a phone that does not have hd voice capability and see if it works then.
    Good luck. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this will be fixed for me on or before the 24th. We'll see.
    EDIT: I see you did put it in another phone and it worked. That backs up that the issue is at&t and their hd voice upgrades. They had no explanation as to why some work and some don't, but have them make sure a profile for your phone is on the line. If not, they'll need to build one for the phone so that it''l work. At least that's the story for now. Like I said, I'll know more in a day or two.

  • 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!

  • Why my iPhone wont let me add to conference call or hang up on a particular person?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 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.

    AT&T is the network. Found out on my plan it was 3-Way. On old plans they had 6-Way. It is not an option now.

        Hello to you Thiminh!
    Having the ability to make a phone call to the people you talk to the most at any time of the day is super important! It will be my absolute pleasure to double check into this for you.
    Depending on the type of plan that you have Verizon to Verizon phone calls should not deduct from your minute allotment. Which plan do you have?
    You can also double check the number right here:
