Conference Calls on Mobile

[rjf2019]

Years ago if I was on a phonecall already on my mobile and received an incoming call, then I could 'join' them together and have a conference call. I'm informed by my network EE that this is no longer supported, supposedly for security issues.

 

I am looking to make phonecalls to children during lockdown and also 'add in' a Teaching Assistant to the call also. It's not really practical to use one of the conference call services where everyone has to phone a certain number at a certain time and enter a passcode. Is there a way (or even an app) that I can get that will call two people at the same time and faciliate a mini conference call?

 

Free is always nice, but open to paying also.

Are you sure, its not possible on EE, I looked at this not that long ago - it may be a business feature now.

 

I'll try later on and see what experimentation shows me

 

Failing that something like Whatsapp or Skype seems to do what you want

Thanks all, I'll look into these options.
