This service lets you answer a second call while you are using your telephone.

How it works:

When you are using your telephone and someone else calls, you will hear a brief tone signal. The person with whom you are talking will hear a slight click. Ten seconds later you will hear a reminder tone. The incoming caller only hears the usual ringing signal.

To answer the second call:

If you wish to end the first call, hang-up. Your phone will ring and the second (incoming)caller will be on the line.

If you want to hold the first call while answering the second call, press the switchhoot once, firmly (1/2 second), and release it immediately. You will be connected with the other person on your line. (Use the recall button on Trimline® models.)

Returning to the first call:

To return to the first call, simply press the switchhook once, firmly (1/2 second), and release it immediately. With this method, you can switch between the two calls as frequently as you wish.

How to end either conversation:

After you have finished talking with either caller, hang up. Your phone will ring and, when you answer, you will be connected with the person remaining on the line.

Control Call Waiting is available in certain areas.

(You must already subscribe to Call Waiting to use this option if it is available in your area.)
