Barge allows you to add yourself to the call but does not convert the call into a conference or allow you to add new participants.

Single-button and Multi-touch Barge

Your system administrator determines whether the barge feature on your phone operates as a single-button or multi-touch feature.

Single-button barge allows you to press a line button to barge a call (if only one call is on the line).

Multi-touch barge allows you to view call information before barging.

Tips

When you barge a call, other parties may hear a beep tone announcing your presence. With cBarge, other parties hear a brief audio interruption and the phone screen changes to display conference details.

If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy enabled, call information and barge softkeys will not appear on the other phones that share the line.

If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy disabled and is configured with Private Line Automated Ringdown (PLAR), the barge and cBarge features will still be available.

You will be disconnected from a call that you have joined using Barge if the call is put on hold, transferred, or turned into a conference call.
