ADD CALL - MERGE CALL - 3 WAY CALLING FEATURE: How does it work?

well, I don't know which country you are from, but at least here in germany, if you run the iphone with a prepaid card (they were sold here without simlock for a while) it's the same, because prepaid cards do not support conference calls.

clicking 'add call' while on a call should work.

http://www.apple.com/iphone/gettingstarted/guidedtour/small.html (in the first part of this it shows conference/3way calling)

o2 is the UK? (There may be differences in the UK.)

Ah I have been fighting with this for a while. I too am in the UK with O2 and cannot merge calls. I have called O2 a few time and they insist that it works when they try it with their iPhones, however I and three other colleagues' iphones will not merge calls they just swap or try and merge then return to the last active caller....?

O2 have told me that there must e a problem with the handset but Since that advice I had my original iPhone stolen and have bought a brand new 16GB version which behaves in exactly the same way.

There is definitely a problem, but I cannot get O2 to admit it....

So is there ANYONE in the UK using an iPhone on O2 that can successfully make a Conference Call or Mere calls?

Can you possibly bring your phone either to an 02 store or Apple store and try it with a tech there? This way it would be more evident if there is a problem with the phone itself, the network or if you are simply doing it incorrectly.

I'm on O2 and mine doesn't work either, but my friend uses his regularly and it works every time.

Bummer...

Does it mean our iPhone's are faulty?

Much more likely to be a carrier issue. Ring 02.

Does not work for me either.
I can make 2 calls and I see the Merge button and it is active, but if I try it one of the calls stays on HOLD.

Not a big issue for me as I don't think I will ever use it, but just tried it to see if it worked.

Maybe it only works if you are on a call and you get an incoming call that you can merge in?

I agree, no need to shout at me!
