telus multi party callin

anyone figure it out yet

Re: telus multi party callin

yaa...but one of the futures thats suppose to be with the tp2 is multiparty calling, as in select the contacts and call all of them at once

Re: telus multi party callin

Thats because it doesn't actually call all of them for u, you select the ones you want to call then it should pop up a wizard on what to do for combining all calls

Re: telus multi party callin

Telus crippled the conference calling feature. They killed it. The Telus Touch Pro2 supports only 3-way calling... with no special interface.

I'm calling Loyalty today, I'll post back what they have to say

Re: telus multi party callin

Re: telus multi party callin

This was the Telus email reply:

The Conference Calling feature is a network feature that may or may not be included in the monthly handset package. It is not a handset feature.

Hi Francis,

Unfortunately, you are mistake in this case. This is a handset feature on the Touch Pro2. The HTC Touch Pro2 features a unique Conference Calling interface as part of the WIDELY advertised and talked about "SmartTalk" feature set. From the Telus page on the HTC website: http://www.htc.com/ca/product/touchp.../overview.html

Conference Calls … Made Easy

Before today, the simple task of multi-party calling required the nimblest of maneuvering around your phone menus. Now, HTC Touch Pro2 introduces a new worry-free interface that makes multi-party calling as easy as tapping on your contacts.

Straight Talk™

Nothing ruins a conference call faster than not being able to hear what is said, or make yourself heard. The HTC Touch Pro2, featuring Straight Talk™ technology, puts crystal-clear sound quality and voice reception at the core of its design. In fact, it is a palm-size professional conference phone with a loudspeaker and dedicated noise-cancelling microphone that delivers superior quality conference calls.

This feature was one of the major selling points for this phone. I happen to know for a fact that many many people are upset about this, as a member of several online communities.

Why would Telus cripple one of the MAJOR selling features of this phone and not inform their potential Touch Pro2 customers?

Everyone should email Telus and raise a stink: MobilityClientCare@telus.com

Re: telus multi party callin

once we get custom rom's going, I have little doubt that if it's not a network dependant feature, that it will be brought over for some CDMA trials...
