If a call comes in while you’re already talking to someone, tap Hold Call + Answer.
Then tap Merge Calls if you want to add the newcomer to the party.
This business of combining calls into one doesn’t have to stop at two. At any
time, you can tap Add Call, dial a third number, and then tap Merge to combine
it with your first two. And then a fourth call, and a fifth. With you, that
makes six people on the call.
Then your problem isn’t technological, it’s social, as you try to conduct a
meaningful conversation without interrupting each other.
Just remember that if you’re on the phone with five people at once, you’re using
up your monthly AT&T minutes five times as fast. Better save those conference calls
for weekends!
Hold
When you tap this button, you put the call on hold. Neither you nor the other
guy can hear anything. Tap again to resume the conversation.
Contacts
This button opens the address book program, so that you can look up a number
or place another call.
Editing the Contacts List
Remember that there are four ways to dial: Favorites, Recents, Contacts, and
Keypad.
The Contacts list is the source from which all other lists spring. That’s probably
why it’s listed twice: once with its own button on the Home screen, and again
at the bottom of the Phone application.
Contacts is your address book—your master phone book. Every cellphone
has a Contacts list, of course, but the beauty of the iPhone is that you don’t
have to type in the phone numbers one at a time. Instead, the iPhone sucks
in the entire phone book from your Mac or PC (Chapter 13) or MobileMe
(Chapter 14).
