Conference call meetings
About conference calls
You can create two types of conference calls with your BlackBerry smartphone. If your organization or a conferencing 
service has provided you with a conference call bridge number, you can create conference call meetings in the calendar on  your smartphone or computer. Conference call meetings allow participants who have a 
BlackBerry smartphone to enter 
the conference call meeting with a one-touch Join Now option, if this feature is supported on their smartphone, so that they 
don't have to dial the conference call bridge number and access codes. If you don't have a conference call bridge number, 
you can create a conference call by calling other contacts and joining the calls together.

							Troubleshooting: Calendar
I can't schedule appointments that span multiple days
If you use IBM Lotus Notes, you can't schedule appointments that span multiple days.
I can't set some fields when scheduling appointments
If you use IBM Lotus Notes, you can only change the Subject, Location, Reminder, and Notes fields and the Mark as Private 
checkbox when you change a recurring appointment or meeting.
Some characters in calendar entries don't appear 
correctly after synchronization
If you schedule appointments or meetings on your BlackBerry smartphone that contain special characters or accents, your 
computer might not support these characters.

Research In Motion recommends that you regularly create and save a backup file on your computer, especially before you 
update any software. Maintaining a current backup file on your computer might allow you to recover smartphone data if 
your smartphone is lost, stolen, or corrupted by an unforeseen issue.
