    After clicking the merge button, I see a message that says 'unable to conference call'. Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

    Your service provider may not support conference calls at all. Call them and ask if they support this service. If not, you could try getting a different one and see if that helps.

    Can a landline be on a conference call?

    Yes, a landline can participate in a conference call. Most modern landline phones have a "conference" or "merge" feature that allows you to add multiple participants to a call. If your landline doesn't have that option, you can still join a conference call by dialing into a conference bridge number provided by the host of the call.
