Using Three-Way Calling.

Three-Way Calling lets you talk with two different people at the

same time. When you use this feature, you will be charged normal

airtime rates for each of the two calls you make.

1. Simply dial your first number and press 

2. When you have connected, press 

to put the first caller on

hold. 

3. Next, dial the second number and press 

4. When you’re connected, press 

again to begin your three-

way call. 

If one of the other callers (not you) hangs up, you and the

remaining caller stay connected. If you initiated the call and you

hang up first, all three calls disconnect.
