The system, apparatus and method of the present invention provide telecommunication
conferencing services in a multiple leg telecommunication session. One of the system
embodiments includes a database and a switching center. The database has stored
in a memory a plurality of secondary directory numbers and a conference parameter
associated with a primary directory number. The switching center has an interface
for receiving an incoming call leg designating the primary directory number and
for determining whether the primary directory number and its associated plurality
of secondary directory numbers are configured for a conference mode. When so configured
for the conference mode, the switching center includes further instructions to
process and route each outgoing call leg associated with each secondary directory
number of the plurality of secondary directory numbers to form a plurality of outgoing
call legs, to monitor answering of the plurality of outgoing call legs, and to
connect an answered outgoing call leg, of the plurality of outgoing call legs,
to the incoming call leg for a multiple leg telecommunication conferencing session.
