Add Call (Conference Calling)
The iPhone is all about software, baby, and that’s nowhere more apparent
than in its facility for handling multiple calls at once. The simplicity and reliability
of this feature put other cellphones to shame. Never again, in attempting
to answer a second call, will you have to tell the first person, “If I lose you,
I’ll call you back.”
Suppose you’re on a call. Now then, here’s how you can:
• Make an outgoing call. Tap Add Call. The iPhone puts the first person
on hold—neither of you can hear each other—and returns you to the
Phone program and its various phone-number lists. You can now make a
second call just the way you made the first. The top of the screen makes
clear that the first person is still on hold as you talk to the second.
• Receive an incoming call. If a second call comes in while you’re on the
first, you see the name or number (and photo, if any) of the new caller.
You can tap either Ignore (meaning, “Send to voicemail; I’m busy now”),
Hold Call + Answer (the first call is put on hold while you take the second),
or End Call + Answer (ditch the first call).
Whenever you’re on two calls at once, the top of the screen identifies both
other parties. Two new buttons appear, too:
