Title: Mobile needed for Conference Calls Post by: fareed on March 16, 2012, 03:36:40 AM Hi All,
I am looking for a mobile to make units on O2 by using landline topup service. My current mobile can make only 2 calls at a time. I am looking for a cheapers mobile ;) because I already have baught IPhone4S on 3 for unlimited data. can you recommend me a mobile for conference calling please. Kind Regards, Fareed Title: Re: Mobile needed for Conference Calls Post by: davegr on March 16, 2012, 08:28:25 AM Are you sure your current mobile can only handle 2 calls at a time? I ask because I thought the same about one of my phones but then realised that conference calling is actually handled by the network and not the phone! Title: Re: Mobile needed for Conference Calls Post by: mobaholic on March 16, 2012, 10:29:04 AM I agree with davegr entirely. I have been conference calling on a very old Nokia 3510 for nearly 2 years now, with no problems at all. My 'phone must be at least 10 years old now ! :o Once conference calling is enabled by your network, even the oldest handset will do it. ;) Have you forgotten to read Mikael's OP, where he points out that O2 only offer this service for it's iPhone contracts ? :-\ Title: Re: Mobile needed for Conference Calls Post by: jagga303 on March 16, 2012, 10:59:03 AM I agree with davegr entirely.

Your last line is not quite true mobaholic, as conference calling is available on O2 business contracts too.

That's fair enough, but I didn't see fareed mention anything about having a business contract. ::) Title: Re: Mobile needed for Conference Calls Post by: fareed on March 17, 2012, 09:13:26 PM I agree with davegr entirely.

I am on o2 simplicity £10 package with unlimited landline using Sony Ericson W810i. This phone allows me to make only 2 calls at a time. This is not a business deal.

Fareed Hi Fareed Your tariff o2 simplicity @ £10, does not allow conference calling. If you would like to activate it on your tariff, o2 will charge you 8 pence per minute per call in the conference. Your mobile phone can make conference calls, but the reason you can only make 2 calls at a time is because your tariff is restricted to a maximum of 2 calls at a time. Hope this helps you and I'm pretty sure this is not the news you wanted to hear. :o Title: Re: Mobile needed for Conference Calls Post by: fareed on March 18, 2012, 05:46:59 PM Hi Fareed Hi jagga303,Your tariff o2 simplicity @ £10, does not allow conference calling.

I have activated the conference calling through O2 online agent today before reading your post. O2 Rep. didn't mention about the 8P charge. I am not going to use it for conference calling now after reading your post. Title: Re: Mobile needed for Conference Calls Post by: jagga303 on March 18, 2012, 06:37:39 PM Hi jagga303, Give them a call again and ask them the conference call facility which they have activated, what are the charges if any.Thanks for your help. I have activated the conference calling through O2 online agent today before reading your post. O2 Rep. didn't mention about the 8P charge. I am not going to use it for conference calling now after reading your post. I think that the rep should have told you before activating. I know all this because I have same sim only tariff and I asked 3-4 days ago and I was told 8p per call in the conference. Let me know how you get on.

They told me "O2 - May: I've checked the account, however, this is not fee, you'll charged 15.3p per minute for the conference call." :'( I have cancelled the service now.

You can speck with conference using your mobile phone option. When you talk with someone and if some calling you then you can active the old caller. Absolute Genius!

It is hard finding information on group calling on the T-Mobile website. :'( Many T-Mobile users know nothing about it. Can you provide a URL where it can be viewed please ? :-\ How much does it cost, and how do you get it activated ? :-\ TIA.

They can be with another UK mobile network, using a landline or even overseas!" |
