A conference call is a telephone call in which the calling party wishes to have more than one called party listen in to the audio portion of the call. Conference calls can be designed so that the calling party calls the other participants and adds them to the call.

Conference Bridge

In most cases, the participants are able call into the conference call themselves, by dialing into a special telephone number that connects to a “conference bridge” (a specialized type of equipment that links telephone lines).
