Answer 3

What your doing is called 3-way calling.

It "might" cost.  Sometimes you can get a package of options (like caller-id, call waiting, etc) that include 3-way, if so, then its free to use.

As a general rule, 3-way is "enabled" on all lines, unless you specifically have it removed.  Its there, but your not paying for it, so they charge a fee very time you use it.  Usually between $1 and $2, depends on your phone company.

So, 3-way will generally always work, but its only free to use if its already included in a calling package you already have.
