BlackBerry Curves
are capable of connecting to multiple cellular devices at once. Not only can each BlackBerry device hold two different conversations on different lines, but all three devices may partake in the same conversation as well. The more BlackBerry Curves involved, the more people can participate.
Instructions
Holding a Conference Call
1. You, as Person A, will be the conversation initiator. Decide who you want to call first in the conference - this person is Person B. The particular calling order is irrelevant; however, if this is a business call, the client (Person C) should be called last so that she will not have to wait on hold.
2. Once Person B is on the line, you should tell him that he will need to wait on Hold for 30 seconds to one minute (this process does not take long) while you connect the third party.
3. You will need to take the phone away from your ear for this step. Locate the Menu button (to the left of the Trackball) and press it so that its options appear on the screen. The phone call is still continuing in the background. Scroll down until "View Address Book" is highlighted in blue. Press the Trackball in to select this button.
4. Scroll through your address book until you find Person C. Once her name is highlighted in blue, press the green Talk button (to the left of the Menu button on the keyboard). This will start a separate call with Person C; Person B is still on hold.
5. Wait for Person C to answer her phone, and then tell her to wait for one moment.
6. Relocate the Menu button and press it one more time. Now, scroll over the option "Join" until it is highlighted in blue. Select it by pressing in the Trackball. All three calls should now be connected.
