Can You Accept Two Calls At A Time On Iphone
If you have ever been in a situation where you receive a phone call and want to answer it while also wanting to continue your current call, then this is an ideal solution for you. There is no need to lose one of the calls while trying to switch between them because there is a simple way that will allow you to do just that without much effort or confusion. In this article we will be discussing how to accept two phone calls at once on your Iphone.
First off, before learning how you can answer two phone calls at the same time, it is important to know why anyone would want or need to do so in the first place because there are probably few people who would want to answer two calls at once. This is particularly true because you cannot communicate with both callers at the same time and will not be able to talk to each of them without putting one of the calls on hold while answering the other one.

To answer two phone calls at the same time on your iPhone, you will have to use a third party app that uses a special algorithm to make both calls believe they are connected. This will allow you to talk and listen to both callers while also being able to switch between them without either one of them knowing what is going on. To accomplish that, follow these steps:
Go to your phone and open the App Store and download and install a simple app called 3CXPhone.To use this app you need to subscribe for one of their licenses which cost around $29 per year at the time of writing this article. When you launch the app on your iphone it will ask you for your username and password which you should have received in an email when you first subscribed to the app. If this is your first time launching the application, then click Next until it asks you for your phone number. After entering your number, click done or press enter so that it can automatically configure itself on your iPhone. When the application is successfully installed, it will ask you to sign in and after doing so, the 3CXPhone application will be activated. Once it is activated, you can close the app and use your default phone capabilities to take or make a call as usual. The only difference here is that now there is an additional button at the bottom of your screen that will allow you to switch between the two calls. This is how it works: Now that you have both calls going at once, click on the Switch Calls button and a pop up will open for you. In this pop up enter the number of the person who you want to hear from first, followed by an asterisk (*), followed by your own number. You can also type in a nickname or any other identifier you want. When done, click on the green switch button and the call will be put on hold for a few seconds so both sides can be connected at once. Now when you press Switch Calls again, there will be a new pop-up where you need to enter the second number followed by an asterisk and your own number again. After doing so, click on the green switch button to finally connect both parties at once.
Conclusion
If you are someone who often has to talk to more than one person at the same time, then this article was definitely for you. This solution not only allows you to answer two phone calls at once but also makes it super easy for you to switch between both callers without letting them know that they are actually being put on hold.
