What is a conference call?

Conference calls are simply those involving more than two phone calls. Modern smartphones allow you to call someone and then add another person to the call. All three people on the call can hear and speak to each other.

The number of people you can add to a call depends on your carrier, but you can have a conference call with up to five people simply using your phone app.
