How to conference call on an Android phone
1. Tap on the Phone icon to open your phone's keypad and contacts list.
2. Type in the phone number you want to call, or swipe through the list of contacts until you come across the person you want to call. Tap on their name, then tap on the green phone icon to call that person.
3. Once the person you've called picks up the call, tap on the + symbol labeled "Add call."
4. Repeat step two for the second person you want to call.
5. When the second person picks up the call, you will see both calls listed at the top of your screen. Tap "Merge" to merge the two calls together into one conference call. You and the two people you've called can now all hear and speak to each other on the same line.
6. When you want to end the conference call, tap the red and white phone button to hang up on everyone.
