Making a three-way phone call, also referred to as a conference call, on the Apple iPhone allows you to speak to multiple people at the same time. Whether you want to have a brainstorming session with colleagues or catch up with a few friends, conference calling saves you the hassle of having to make multiple phone calls to relay a message. With conference calling, all parties can hear each other, unless you put someone on hold.
