Why can't I drop a call on three way calling

Ok so someo called me and then I call someone else but the person didn't answer but when I tried to hang up it hung up on both parties it didn't give me an option to add another call or hang up on the person I was calling

Hello there, tacarra12.
The following link from the online iOS8 iPhone User Guide goes over how to drop a person on a conference call:
Conference calls - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iph3c99551d
Conference calls
With GSM, you can set up a conference call with up to five people (depending on your carrier).
Note: Conference calls may not be available if your call is using VoLTE (Voice over LTE).
Create a conference call. While on a call, tap Add Call, make another call, then tap Merge Calls. Repeat to add more people to the conference.
Drop one person: Tap next to a person, then tap End.
Talk privately with one person: Tap , then tap Private next to the person. Tap Merge Calls to resume the conference.
Add an incoming caller: Tap Hold Call + Answer, then tap Merge Calls.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

  • HT1976 How to disconnect single caller instead of ending all calls on three way call.

    Need to know how to program my phone to disconnect one caller during a conference all instead of me having to disconnect all callers to free up my other line.

    Thanks I will try this, however some of my buttons are not active. I'm on verizon. I call, add a call and merge for my partner to speak, however there seems to be a delay for the 3rd voice to be heard. Also when I'm done and need to make another call with my partner in another state, he gets hung up on too. It's very frustrating and time consuming to keep having to call him back or him to call me back.

  • How to use three way calling

    How do you end a call after you've merged it for three way calling?

    Hi there, there is no star function to activate the three-way calling feature.  Here is a very helpful link that will explain on how to use three-way calling with Verizon.

  • Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on it works

    Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on I can hear the ringing?

    Don't jump all the way to restoring just yet.  Check to make sure there's nothing in the headphone jack, and nothing covering the microphones (including the noise cancelling microphone at the top next to the headset jack)
    1. Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    2. Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    3. Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    4. Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • Why can't i drop/drag a playlist to my iphone icon in itunes?

    Why can't I drop/drag a playlist to my iPhone icon in iTunes?  If I try to manually sync, it says my phone is synced to another library and will be erased/synced with the library on my computer, which I don't want to do.  There are some songs on my current computer that would be deleted.  Do I have to completely try to rebuild the playlist?  I thought when I removed it from my phone last year, but saved it to my computer, I would just be able to drop/drag it to add it back on this year.

    You do it all the time with what from your MBP?
    You have manually manage music and video selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Iphone 5 three-way calling

    My new Iphone 5 makes me wait at least 14 seconds before the icon for "add line" lights up and allows me to add a call.  I'm on Verizon.  Anyone else have this issue?

    My iPhone 4S worked perfectly and this was not an issue.  The add line icon light up with all the other icons.  Does the iPhone 5 have something that disallows immediate three-way calling and if so, how is it otherwise inferior to the 4S?  I may go back to the 4S if the problem can't be solved.
