How to Activate a Conference Call in Airtel

Customers of India’s Bharti Airtel postpaid mobile services have an option to use conference calling to conduct a teleconference for business, or simply to connect family and friends on the same call. The service is optional and affords customers the opportunity to connect up to five people simultaneously on the same call. Activating the conference call feature requires no special action, other than following the steps to complete a conference call. Keep in mind that standard, per-minute rates apply for the duration of the call and all hold times, according to the customer contract.
