The first call is a normal call – you can dial the person’s number using the keypad, or dial the number from the Recent calls. You could also dial a number from your phone’s contact.

Step 4: Add More Participants or Finish the Conference

You can add more people to the conference call. Use the steps below to add more people or drop the call when you are done with the conference.

  • To add one more person, click the Add call button. Then, follow the steps described in step 2 to add the person to the call.
To add more people, wait for the person you are just adding to pick up. If the person has not picked up, the Add call button will be grayed out.
  • When you finish the conference call, click the end call button – like you would end a normal call.

As you can see, it is very easy to conference call on Android! I hope you found this Itechguide helpful. If you found it helpful, click on “Yes” beside the “Was this page helpful” question below.
