About conference calls

You can create two types of conference calls with your BlackBerry smartphone. If your organization or a conferencing service has provided you with a conference call bridge number, you can create conference call meetings in the calendar on your smartphone or computer. Conference call meetings allow participants who have a BlackBerry smartphone to enter the conference call meeting with a one-touch Join Now option, if this feature is supported on their smartphone, so that they don't have to dial the conference call bridge number and access codes. If you don't have a conference call bridge number, you can create a conference call by calling other contacts and joining the calls together.
