This is great!  I just tried it here and it works.  I am constantly
amazed at the intelligence level Bell Canada assumes I have.  They
have carefully hid this VERY useful feature from me to avoid confusing
me!

Actually, on second thought, they probably couldn't find a way to
tariff it separately! :)

On a similiar subject, does anyone know if you can TRANSFER a call
with "three way calling"?  (defined as: A calls B, B puts A "on hold"
and calls C, B disconnects any time after dialling C, A is connected
to C).  I'm particularly interested in Bell Canada's version of this
feature, but I'd like to know how others work.

[Moderator's Note: So far as I have seen, it cannot be done EXCEPT
under Starline/Intellidial/Centrex by whatever name. Ooops! This is a
family Digest; I shouldn't have said that nasty word, should I, JH?  I
can do what you are asking on my lines here with Starline, but under
regular three way calling, when the middle-man disconnects, all drop
off.  PT]
