• Swap lets you flip back and forth between the two calls. At the top of the
screen, you see the names or numbers of your callers. One says HOLD
(the one who’s on hold, of course) and the other bears a white telephone
icon, which lets you know who you’re actually speaking to.
Think how many TV and movie comedies have relied on the old
“Whoops, I hit the wrong Call Waiting button and now I’m bad-mouthing
somebody directly to his face instead of behind his back!” gag. That can’t
happen on the iPhone.
You can swap calls by tapping Swap or by tapping the HOLD person’s
name or number.
• Merge Calls combines the two calls so all three of you can converse at
once. Now the top of the screen announces, “Bill O’Reilly & Al Franken”
(or whatever the names of your callers are), and then changes to say
“Conference.”
If you tap the O button, you see the names or numbers of everyone in
your conference call. You can drop one of the calls by tapping its N button
(and then End Call to confirm), or choose Private to have a personto-person
private chat with one participant. (Tap Merge Calls to return to
the conference call.)
