Answer A Call:When you get a call, you will see the below alert on the lower right-hand corner of your primary screen. You can either accept the call or decline it (decline will send it straight to VM)

Adding A Person To A Call:Once you are on a call, select "People" Once the box is open, type in the person's name or 10-digit number in the box and then select the name or number. This will add the person and place you in a conference call
