How to make a conference call on a BlackBerry

BlackBerrys can conference call natively.

First, phone a number as usual. Once the call is connected, put the recipient on hold, which is an option found by pressing the Menu button. Now, start a second call as usual. Press the Menu button again and select the Join option.

For a more refined conference calling experience, download Advanced Conference Call (£13.95) from BlackBerry App World. It allows for conference calls with up to five participants and includes scheduling and notifications. A free trial of Advanced Conference Call is also available from App World.
