[Asterisk-Users] Re: About 3 Way Calling on GS BT100

[Mike Meyer]

Leah,

	 BT101's do not do conferencing yet. I was told by their support that
this capability will be provided by the end of this year. Even though
there is a conference key it doesn't conference.

I just tested it after I saw your message and since I had loaded the
latest firmware (1.0.5.14) into the phones earlier this week. 

It still doesn't support conferencing. Transfer works though, but that
doesn't buy you much.

What we do here is set up conference rooms and transfer callers into
conference rooms, then call the conference room directly to join the
conversation. A little cumbersome, but functional.

When I was researching this a bit, I thought I came across a tidbit that
said 
that this phone is not capable of using "flash"...but now I can't seem
to 
find that now, and on the contrary, the things I read say that it has
such 
capability...Right now I am using a regular phone just with a SIP
adaptor, 
and in order to accomplish 3 way calling, I hit flash, as I would if it 
wasn't using VOIP capabilities. But by reading
http://www.grandstream.com/
user_manuals/budgetone100.pdf, it looks like that pressing flash does 
call-waiting, not a conference call...it might help to look that up a
bit, as 
well as http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20phone%
