How to add a person to a call

Adding a person turns your call into a three-way call without dropping the customer. The added person hears both sides, and both sides hear them. You stay on the call the whole time. Use it to bring in a technician, a manager or a specialist, or to loop in an outside number such as a supplier.

  1. 1
    Wait until the call is up

    The Add person button turns on once the other side is on the line, the same moment Hold, the keypad and Transfer turn on.

  2. 2
    Open Add person

    Click the Add person button on the call bar. A small panel opens with one field.

  3. 3
    Pick who to add

    Type a teammate's name and click it, or type a full phone number with the area code and click Call. The new person is rung with your company line as the caller ID, the same number the customer sees.

  4. 4
    Talk

    When they answer, they join the call. Their name or number shows under Add a person with a Remove button.

  5. 5
    Remove them when you are done

    Click Remove next to their name. Only that person is hung up; you and the customer stay connected.

warningAn added person uses call minutes from the moment they answer until they leave, the same as any outgoing call, and it draws on your plan minutes first and then your balance. A person who does not answer costs nothing. If your balance is empty, Genaya tells you and does not ring them.
