The easiest way: a native phone app

The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ have a ton of helpful tools. Among them, there is one feature that raises many questions - conference calling. But it's actually a breeze! All you have to do is to follow these simple steps:

Make sure you are in a quiet area where no one disturbs you.
Tap the Phone icon on the Home screen, then tap on the Contacts tab.
Choose a contact number you want to connect with and tap Phone.
Now you need to dial the second participant. For that, tap Add and phone the second contact.
To connect two people, tap Merge.
Repeat all the actions, until everyone has joined the chat.
To finish the conversation, tap the End Call icon.

In case you have any connection issues, you can find more information on the official Samsung website.

Are there any drawbacks to this type of communication?

Unfortunately, yes. And it's better to consider them all before starting a chat.

Here are the downsides to keep in mind:

Higher cost in comparison with common phone calls
A strictly limited number of participants and call duration
Huge fees for phoning abroad
No additional features
