What is the procedure for 3-way calling with Ooma Telo?

I needed to do 3-way calling and couldn't figure it out.

Perhaps it's a function of the telephone (Panasonic KX-TG6671with a flash button, see screenshot below) or maybe a function of my Ooma service (I'm new so I have premier) - but it wasn't found in a forum search for "3 way" and "conference calling".

So, may I ask:

Googling, I found out it's not done with the Panasonic desktop phone but with the Telo itself (no wonder it didn't work!):
- https://www.ooma.com/app/support/three- ... ce-calling
To initiate a three-way conference call from an Ooma Telo with a desktop telephone
Call the first number on your desktop phone (or have them call you)
The "1" on the Telo should be orange to indicate it is in use
Press the line 2 button (on the Telo!) to activate your Instant Second Line
The "1" on the Telo will blink to indicate it's no longer the main number
Call the second number (from your desktop phone)
Press the (blinking orange) line 1 and (solid orange) line 2 buttons (on the Telo!) to bridge the two calls together
Both lines should now be solid orange (on the Telo) to indicate they are in use

For the record, apparently there is no way to call from either the desktop telephone or from the normal phone handset:
- 3 Way Calling

However that thread says three-way calling with Ooma only works if you have Premier:

Three way calling is a Premier feature.
