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.
