CALL WAITING

Use your telephone without missing other calls. A special tone alerts you to a waiting call; the person calling you hears normal ringing. TO ANSWER A WAITING CALL When you’re on the phone, a special tone tells you a second call is waiting. Simply press and quickly release the “switch hook” on your telephone. Your first caller is placed on hold, while you are connected with the second caller. If you choose not to answer the incoming call you will hear a special tone to remind you of the waiting call. TO ALTERNATE BETWEEN CALLERS Simply press and quickly release the “switch hook” (twice if you also subscribe to Three-Way Calling). While you talk with one caller, the other will be placed on hold automatically. Each conversation remains private. TO END EITHER CALL Hang up while on the call you wish to terminate. Your phone will ring. When you answer, you will be reconnected with the remaining caller. TO DEACTIVATE CALL WAITING BEFORE MAKING A CALL Lift the handset and listen for the dial tone. Press *70 (On a rotary phone, dial 1170). Listen for the confirmation tone. Dial the telephone number you wish to call. Now, your call will not be interrupted by the Call Waiting tone. Other callers will hear a busy signal. After you hang up, Call Waiting reactivates. TO DEACTIVATE CALL WAITING DURING A CALL Press and release the “switch hook.” Press *70 (On a rotary phone, dial 1170). Listen for the confirmation tone. You will be reconnected to your call. After you hand up, Call Waiting reactivates. Note: You must have Three-Way Calling to deactivate Call Waiting during a call. The “switch hook” is the button the handset pushes down when you hang up the phone. Some telephones have a Link or Flash key you can press instead.
