Conferencing by Barging in on Established Conversations

The Barge feature lets you add yourself to a call in progress on a shared line appearance.

If the party whose call you barged puts the call on hold, puts it in a conference, or transfers it, you are disconnected from the call.

Note You cannot be on two barged calls at the same time. You cannot put a barged call on hold and resume the call. You cannot answer a second line while on a barged call.

Procedure

Step 1 Select an active call on one of your shared lines.

Step 2 Press the Barge softkey.

The phone creates a conference call and sends a beep tone to all the members of the conference to indicate that the barge occurred and that the conference started.

Step 3 To end the conference, hang up.

When you hang up, the remaining parties receive a disconnect tone, and the original call continues.
