Note: TWU’s conference room telephone system supports a maximum of three parties on a conference call regardless location. This phone must be plugged into a working digital line phone jack.
To Establish a 3-Way Call
- Call the 1st party.
- This procedure also works if a call from is placed or received from on or off campus.
- While still in conversation with the 1st party, ask them to wait while calling the 2nd party.
- Press the conference button (look for a picture of three people standing in a group). This places the 1st party on hold.
- Call the number for the 2nd party by dialing the 10 digit extension.
- After the 2nd party answers, ask them to wait while setting up the 3-way conference call.
- Press the conference button or JOIN soft key (on the LCD screen) to connect the parties.
- The 3-way conference call has now been established. Each party can now listen to and speak to each other.
- If at any point in the conversation one party hangs up, the remaining parties will remain on the line.
- To end the call(s), hang up or disconnect using the phone button with a picture of a phone at a 45 degree angle.
