A system (200) and method of making three way calls from a wireless communications device (10) having a phonebook (402) are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of selecting a first party to be called from a phonebook (402) residing on the wireless communications device, selecting a second party to be called from the phonebook (402), originating calls to the first and second parties, and joining the calls to the first and second parties in a three-way call. The method may also include the steps of waiting for user input before originating a call to the second party, playing a pre-recorded message to the first party before originating the call to the second party, and waiting for user input before joining the calls to the first and second parties in a three-way call. The system (200) comprises a transceiver (216) for transmitting data to and from a remote location via an antenna (218), a user input device (208) for selecting from a phonebook (402) first and second parties to be called, a storage area (220) for storing data indicative of the first and second parties to be called, and a central processing unit (202) operatively coupled to the storage area (220), the user input device (208) and the transceiver (216) for originating and joining the first and second parties in a three-way call with the user of the system (200). The system (200) may also include a visual display (206) and an audio tone generator (224).
