I had AT&T since 2007 with the original iPhone and when I have done conference calls there is always a button next to the text to see all of the callers on the call so I can hang them up individual or all at once. Now that I have the iPhone 5 this button is missing entirely for Verizon. Also the merge call is delayed to 1 minute into a call, when on AT&T it was once they picked up you could merge anyone else waiting on the line. Any ideas?
Got a tip for us?

Conference Call button missing???

CDMA voice has limitations on how many people may be on conference calls as well as a time delay that GSM/HSPA+ does not. I want to say that you can do a 3 way call but that is about it. You may not be able to do them at all on Verizon, I'm not sure. I just know that that was one of the advantages listed to sticking with AT&T for business customers.
Apple lists the differences between CDMA (Verizon) and GSM (AT&T) functionality here:

Basically: GSM supports better, more-integrated voice calling features. With CDMA (and Verizon), you're pretty much SOL on the conference call thing. You also can't place calls on hold with Verizon.
