Handling Multiple Calls
You can use the Active Call view to handle a variety of situations that involve multiple calls. During
an active call, you can receive or place another call, switch between two active calls, and create
a 3-way conference call. For example, when you’re talking to a friend, you can place another call
to a restaurant to make dinner reservations, and return to your friend to confirm the time and
place. You can also use call waiting to receive an important incoming call while you’re already on
the phone, and to facilitate 3-way conference calls when you’re on the go.
To respond to call waiting, do one of the following:
■ Tap Hold & Answer to place the first call on hold and answer the second call.
■ Tap Drop & Answer to end the first call and answer the second call.
■ Tap Ignore to send the second call to voicemail.
■ Press the button on the headset (if it is attached) to place the first call on hold and to answer
the second call.
Note: Make sure the Disable Call Waiting option on the Call Preferences screen is off. When
this option is off the Disable Call Waiting check box is empty. See the section that begins
on page 100 for more information.
To dial another number while a call is in progress:
1. From the Active Call view, tap the Speed Dial, Dial Pad, Contacts, or Call History view icon.
Tip: You can also repeatedly press the PhoneBook application button to display the
view you want to use.
2. Dial the number.
3. When the confirmation message appears, tap Yes.
To switch between two active calls, do any of the following:
■ Tap the call status line of the call you want to make active.
■ Press the button on the headset (if it is attached).
