Call Waiting
Be Available for Important Calls
Call Waiting makes sure you don’t miss a call when your line is busy, so you can keep using your phone even if you’re expecting a call. Call Waiting alerts you with a "beep" signal if another call is coming in while you’re on the phone. You can place the first caller on hold while you answer the second call, and when you’re through, you can switch back to the first call and continue talking.
You can always temporarily deactivate Call Waiting when you don't want a call to be interrupted.
