How to use Conference Calling on my mobile phone

What is Conference Calling?

Conference Calling lets you add several people to a mobile phone call. You can connect the other callers at the start of your call, or add people to a call that’s already in progress.

This feature is included with all Bell Mobility rate plans.  

Note that airtime charges apply to all calls when you use Conference Calling.
