Call Waiting
Get that important call.
Talking to your best friend, but you're expecting an important call from mom? No problem. Just put one caller on hold while you get the other call, then with another click you are back to your first call.

While your phone is in use, Call Waiting alerts you to another incoming
call. You are able to put the first call on hold and answer the second.

To Answer a Second Call:

1. When you're on the phone, a "beep" tells you a second call is waiting. Only you hear this beep. If you don't answer the second call within 10 seconds, another "beep" reminds you it's there.
2. The second caller hears only the normal ringing tone.
3. Depress the switchhook for about one second to place your first call on hold. You are automatically connected to the second caller.

To Alternate Between Calls:

Depress the switchhook for about one second to alternate between calls. Each of your conversations is private and cannot be heard by the other caller.

To End Either Call:

1. End conversation and hang up.
2. Your telephone will ring.
3. When you answer it, you'll be connected with the other caller. The call you discontinued will no longer be on the line.

To temporarily suspend Call Waiting dial *70; it is automatically reactivated when your call is completed.
