conference call

how do i do conference call with xda2
when i call some one, then put my friend on hold to call another friend.
how do i connect, so all three of us can talk at the same time

I know that if you get a call waiting beep you can answer the other call and there will be a button that says conference. That is a standard function. I don't know how to call another person and conference them in.

Redirect a incomming call to the mailbox?

Hi,
Can someone tell me how a can redirect a incomming call to the mailbox when I don't want to answer that call?
I only can decline the call and then the caller gets a busy tone and know that a pushed the call away....

Settings>Phone>Call Forwarding>Get Settings...
Make sure "No Answer" is ticked and diverts to your mailbox number.

Thanx for your help, but that one I know... :lol:
What I want is to stop the phone ringing and push it to the voicemailbox!
Now I have to wait 30 sec before the call is redirect to the mailbox...

In conjunction to "elyl's" suggestion, if you don't want to hear the phone ring, then turn the volume off. Otherwise you need a 3rd party software like Phone Alarm.

but sometimes you just don't wanna talk to a person that is calling you... and I don't mean because I'm busy or something just push it away to the voicemail.
I use Phonealarm but it didn't give me the option when the phone rings (with a certain person I don't wana talk to) push it to voicemail!
So now I leave it ringing and then it goes to the mailbox at last.

I've just tried it on my Magician. If you press the red/end button right after it ring then the call is redirected to the voice mail.

hmmm, when I push the red button it gives a busy tone to the caller...
Thanx for trying

do you have the other call divert (when busy, when out of range, etc.) functions active?

Must be an operator-dependent thing then, cos when I reject a call it gets sent to the mailbox. Dial into your mailbox and see if you can change the settings.

Finaly it is working!!
I just re enterd the voicemailbox number and send it again to the telecom provider.... :?
Thanx again for your help and testing...

great to know that you have it finally working

One day I learned (by accident), that if you use the hardware volume button while the phone rings, it will mute the ring tone. That way, you can let it "ring" in silence for the duration of the 30 seconds before it forwards to your voice mail.
I use the vol down in these situations, but I think it also mutes on vol up.

Speakerfone, MS Voice Command

According to the site this phone has a speakerfone
how exactly do you activate it but?
also with MS Voice command I say the name of the person i want to call, it asks for confirmation, i say yes and nothing happens ????

To turn on the speakerphone just press and hold the green call button whilst in a call. Repeat to turn it off if you want to.

yes and the actual speaker is at the back in a slit beside the mirror for self portraits

Sprint Hero and Conference Calling

I have been trying to make conference calls on my Hero. They don't work. I can make a call, and then hit Menu and select "Add Call". The phone will put the primary call on hold, I hear what sounds like a dial tone for about a half of a second, and then silence. The primary call is still on hold, and I can return to it when I "merge" the calls, but no conference. In fact the second number dialed is never rung.
I thought this was just a problem on my phone so I took it in to a Sprint Repair Center. While it was being looked at I tried making a conference call on the display Hero. No go. It didn't work either. So, I called a friend with a Sprint Hero as well and his wouldn't make conference calls either.
Is this a Sprint Hero issue? Is this a Sense UI issue?
I would love some more users feedback of what works on their Sprint or Non-Sprint Heros.

I get same results as you do, not an issue for me though as I dont use that feature.

Are you using a Sprint Hero or the GSM?

Here is what you do... I had the same problem.
When you are on a call press the GREEN Call Button ( its like flash on a landline ) you will hear a dial tone.
Dial another number once connected press menu and merge calls.
Works all the time.
I am on Sprint Hero.

Thank You. Wonderful. That works.
I would assume the problem is a bug in the Firmware, but that is an ignorant's guess.

This has been the proper method to make conference calls for a LONG time on Sprint. For some reason I ALWAYS try to use the add call myself, thinking that they've finally "fixed" it, but I suppose this is just the way it is.

Call waiting when dailing a number

Hello
When calling another person from my phone and if there are on the phone you will get call waiting as this way you now the person it on the phone.
I have tired it from another phone and it works but when i try it on htc hd2 it doesn't come up saying call waiting. Where as the person it on a call.
It was a very useful thing to have on phone. Is there a reg key i can change or cab file??

I think that if you are dialing, you do not have call waiting. This is also true for fixed lines. This is the only time your caller can get a busy tone.
But home phone nowadays operate like cell phones, and do not really send out the DTMF until you press the talk button. As a result, the dialing process beomes so quick that it does not matter much.

Alex
For example
If I am dialling your number and while you are already on another call with someone else than it will come up on my phone call waiting.
This way I now you are on the phone.
It use to work from my nokia phone but I am not sure if that option is available in winmo
