At this time the desktop client does not support three way calling. However, if you upgrade to a VoIP Unlock Key and an ATA then three way calling is fully supported :)

This came up before. It took a bit of searching for the thread, but take a look at this post and see if it helps any. I think it depends a long on what device you are using.

Thanks Jake for responding to the thread and answering Riazg's question.

Riazg if you are using the Grandstream ATA device than you have to follow these steps that Steve posted on the thread that Jake posted on how to use three way calling.

On the Grandstream HT-286 you'll want to:

Dial Party A
Press flash/hook, dial *23, then immediately dial Party B
After Party B answers, press flash/hook again to join the calls

However if you are using a different ATA device it would be best to contact support for that ATA's manufacturer and ask them what you need to do to make three way calls.
