have a simultaneous conversation with more than one caller, if your

network service provider supports this feature.

A multiparty call can only be set up when you have one active call

and one call on hold, both calls having been answered. Once a

multiparty call is set up, calls may be added, disconnected or

separated (that is, removed from the multiparty call but still
