Abstract

Various telephone features are implemented for use during a conference call. In order to implement features, an identity of each party to the conference call is stored. An identity of a second party to the conference call is displayed on a display of a first telephone used by a first party to the conference call. If the display on the first telephone is large enough, all the parties in the conference can be displayed. Alternatively, the first telephone displays only one party to the conference at a time. A scroll feature is used to scroll through all the parties to the conference. A private consultation may be conducted between the first party and the second party. In response to the first party depressing a consultation feature button on the first telephone, the first party and the second party are temporarily disconnected from the conference call, and are temporarily connected to each other in a point-to-point call. In response to the first party again depressing the consultation feature button on the first telephone, the first party and the second party are disconnected from the point-to-point call and reconnected to the conference call.
