What is three-way calling?

Three-way calling, sometimes known as a conference call, is a telecommunication feature that enables you to add an additional person to an ongoing call.

With this feature, you can initiate a second call and then merge it with the existing call, allowing all three participants to communicate with each other seamlessly.
