Whilst on a call, press recall which should put call one on hold & give
you a dial tone. Dial another number. When answered, press recall
button to join all 3 of you together in a 3-way call.

Cheers Jono,

I tried that, but dont get a dial tone, Dont think there's a problem
with Freetalk, because I hear the tones in call waiting, but nothing
happens when I press the recall button!

Check that your phone is set to Time Break (TB) Recall. Most have a switch
somewhere to switch between TB and Earth recall, which is used on some
(mostly older) switchboards.

switchboard as I am using Freetalk at home.

It's nothing to do with switchboards, it's just that some older swbds
required earth recall, which is why the facility still exists on phones.

Check your phone. Somewhere on it (probably concealed somewhere on the
underside) should be a small switch with two or three positions marked
Pulse (or maybe P or LD), TB and E or something along those lines. It
determines whether the phone dials out with loop disconnect, DTMF with
earth recall or DTMF with Time Break recall. You need to select TB or
whatever it's labelled on your phone. Most phones should be set to this by
default but the switch could have been moved inadvertently.

As a test, when you need to use the recall button, *briefly* flash the
hookswitch and see if you get dial tone then. If you do then it's your
phone setting as above. If not then it is a problem elsewhere. Let me
know what the phone setting is and whether the hookswitch flash works.
