Understanding Barge Features

cBarge and Barge

Depending on how your phone is configured, you can add yourself to a non-private call on a shared
line using either Barge or cBarge.

cBarge converts the call into a standard conference, allowing you to add new participants. (See

Making Conference Calls, page 45

for more information about standard conferences.)

Barge allows you to add yourself to the call but does not convert the call into a conference or allow
you to add new participants.

Using Barge Features

The table below describes how to use barge features (cBarge or Barge) to add yourself to a call on a
shared line.

Tips

When you barge a call, other parties hear a beep tone announcing your presence. With cBarge,
other parties hear a brief audio interruption and the phone screen changes to display conference
details.

If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy enabled, call information and barge softkeys
will not appear on the other phones that share the line.

You will be disconnected from a call that you have joined using Barge if the call is put on hold,
transferred, or turned into a conference call.
