Need three family members on one call? Jazz Conference Call merges up to four numbers, including off-net and international participants, from your Jazz prepaid line.

Fair usage policy
Each connected leg is a separate billed call in Jazz systems.
Restrictions
Not a flat subscription. International legs use IDD rates.
Terms & conditions
Conference usage follows your active Jazz voice bundle or base per-minute charges.
How to start and end
Activate conference mode: dial *188# and follow voice or USSD prompts Jazz provides on the live page.
End or manage: dial 1881#.
Exact merge steps can vary by handset. Test with local Jazz numbers before hosting an important meeting.
Charging model
Jazz treats each call log as a new call per package plan. Example: three off-net friends on conference can burn off-net minutes three times faster than a single call.
International participants use IDD tariffs. Confirm IDD rates on jazz.com.pk before you add a Dubai contact.
Who should use it
Useful for quick family decisions, small shop coordination, or rural teams without internet meeting apps.
Who should skip
Skip if you have free Wi-Fi and Zoom. Skip if your bundle has tiny off-net minutes. A conference with three other-network friends can exhaust Weekly Super Plus off-net bucket in one session.
Tips
Host on a full battery. Drops mid-merge are painful. Mute noisy lines by hanging up that leg if your phone supports it.
Compared with Sponsor Me
Conference Call splits talk across numbers you dial. Sponsor Me bills a sponsor's Jazz balance. Different problems.

Hosting etiquette
Tell participants conference is billing multiple legs. Some users hang up early thinking one person pays one call.
Handset merge limits
Some Android phones support native merge after Jazz enables conference. Others rely fully on *188# IVR. Practice once.
Minute bundle order
Jazz consumes package minutes first. Track off-net and on-net buckets separately when three strangers join.
Drop and re-add
If one line fails, ending entire conference may be faster than debugging on old feature phones.
International cost example
Adding UAE participant without IDD bundle can charge per-second IDD. Confirm IDD pack on jazz.com.pk first.
Unsubscribe code usage
1881# exits conference mode. It does not cancel future conferences. No daily fee to worry about.
Alternative apps
WhatsApp group call uses data, not voice minutes. Choose conference when participants lack data smartphones.
Support
If *188# rejects, verify conference feature flag on account via 111.
Family three-way example
Parent hosts conference with two children abroad and one local. Each leg may mix IDD and local tariffs.
Time box meetings
Conference drift costs money. Set five minute agenda on voice merge.
Echo problems
Speakerphone conferences echo. Use handset hold.
Feature phone limit
Old Nokia may not merge cleanly. Host on smartphone if possible.
Check minutes mid-call
Dial minute balance code during long merge if package active.
Legal recording
Pakistan recording consent laws apply if you record conference audio externally.
Alternative for data users
Zoom free tier uses data not voice. Pick based on participant phones.
Exit code habit
Store 1881# in contacts notes for quick teardown after meeting.
Wedding planning three cities
Bride city, groom city, tailor city one call saves repeated redials if all participants on reasonable tariffs.
Minute math example
Host with thousand Jazz minutes conference two Jazz friends uses three legs Jazz on-net. Host with two off-net friends burns off-net bucket three times faster.
Drop one participant
If one line noisy, ending whole conference may be faster than teaching merge on feature phone.
Practice script
Before real meeting, practice with two friends five minute test. Note which phone supports merge button.
IDD warning repeat
International participant without IDD pack is financial risk. Confirm jazz.com.pk IDD page first.
When Zoom wins
Participants all on hostel Wi-Fi with laptops: Zoom free. Participants on voice only handsets: Jazz conference.
Store exit code
Save 1881# note for teardown after meeting ends.
Support path
If star 188 hash fails, call 111 from Jazz SIM with example timestamp.
