Call merging on S4

[Anonymous]

Hi Guys I cant merge calls on my s4 I press the button but it says cannot conference call been on to o2 and apparently they don't know what I'm asking for any ideas?

Don't know how this got marked as solved but in the end It is conference calling you need enabled which cs will do for free so it appears its the same as call merging as it now works

i hAVE ASKED THEM ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAY YOU GET CHARGED FOR CONFERENCE CAllS IS THIS SO

I believe you do get charged for conference calls but you don't get charged if you merge the calls so if you ring someone then someone else and merge them it all comes out of inclusive allowance

From the forum when asked previously:

With Group Conferencing, there's no monthly subscription, you just pay for your own call charges per minute.

If you're on an O2 mobile, calls are charged at 8p per minute, or within your call bundle, 24 hours a day
If you are not an O2 customer, calls are charged at the same rate as calling an O2 mobile
Each caller pays for their own call charge and it doesn't cost you anything extra to chair or set up the call

Conferencing and merging are 2 different things

Quite correct. There is a thread here discussing the differences http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly-and-Pay-Go/Conference-calling/td-p/310148 however, it's not entirely clear what service bulldog1uk is after ?

I know that's why I was trying to point out the difference but we may never know but you do need conference call access as a free bolt on for merging to work on a non iphone
