@japsterman If you pressed the merge call button you would use double minutes on your cell phone, this isn't a problem if you have an Unlimited voice plan with your cell carrier, but if you had 3 people on the call and talked for an hour you'd lose 180 minutes using the call merge feature, whereas you'd lose only 60 if you let Google Voice host the call.
Doesn't work with those automated services where you have to punch a number. For some reason the party you call doesn't recognize when you punch a number on the keypad. That is on outgoing calls not one where you set up the conference call.
i wish there was a way to call via phone to ur contact list... like they should make u be able to make a 1-10 or 1-100 numbers of fav ppl that you can hit something like after dialing 2 to dial out(from landline) u shud hit something like "25#" and it should call contact #25 it would rock to hear like theyre recorded name of when they first called u two in a selection + computer said name from a-z they shud let u search contacts that are in ur GV accnt via landline/mobile... dont you all agree?
This works on any phone with call-waiting, it doesn't even have to be a cell phone. When your call waiting beeps, do whatever you have to do to switch lines, it will then prompt you to press 5 to conference call. Easy.

My other conference call lets me record the call. How can we do that with G-Voice?
Why can i not call into my other conference service # with G-Voice?
