I tried to talk to two people simultaneously but it wouldn't allow me to merge. I had to keep switching over. Anyone else have this problem?
Can't Merge Calls
- Thread starter iPhoneJones
- Start date
Yes. I called one person. Told them to hold. Called a 2nd person talked to them. Tried to merge the calls so we could talk together but it never merged us. I eventually had to drop one of them.
I've been able to merge calls with no problem.
Funny occurrence: I'm not sure if I had anything to do with this or not, but one time I was talking to a friend, and suddenly it called her on one of the other numbers stored under her name in my contact list. lol
So i'm talking to her on her cell phone, and all of a sudden, it just puts her on hold and calls her house. WTF? lol

No error message at all it just does not work. It worked the first time and that was it.
The key is in the PLAN! It's not the phone. I just called ATT and I wasn't set up for conference calling (even though I should have been when I added the 450 minute plan in Janurary). After the rep did her thing I am now able to merge calls. It says "Conferencing" at the top. Thanks for the advice!
I love threads that actually solve a problem. Thanks, jones, for posting that you found a solution, so the rest of us will know how to fix this if it ever becomes a problem for us.
Yeah, no kidding, even though I figured that's what it was, posting "I don't have this problem" really doesn't help anything other than to affirm that at least one person in the world managed to use it so far.
Call AT&T. For some reason this isn't set up w/o asking for it and you'll need an access code from them. The exact same thing happened to me last week. I called Apple and they referred me to AT&T. A rep there sent my iPhone a code, told me to turn the phone off for a couple of minutes, turn it back on and voila, it worked. Good luck. Cheers !

So nice when you can find a 'fix' and - at the same time - prove that you are neither crazy nor technically inept.
Thanks for letting me know it was AT&T's doing.
