Answering When You Have an Active or Held Call

If call waiting is enabled on your phone, you can answer a call when you’re

already in a call. When you answer the incoming call, the existing call will be

held. The incoming call cannot be joined into the existing call; only outgoing

calls can be joined into a conference call.

You can switch between the active call and the held call at any time. If you end

the active call, the held call automatically becomes the active call.

When a call arrives when you’re in a call, you’ll hear a call waiting beep. The

call won’t display on the phone screen. To answer the call, you need to activate

a hook flash—a quick off-hook/on-hook/off-hook cycle (just like picking up a

handset, putting it back in its cradle, and then picking it up again)—to signal

your phone to perform a special task. A special task includes placing an active

call on hold so another call can be placed, or connecting three parties in a

conference.

When you activate a hook flash, ‘Flash’ displays on the screen for about one

second, as shown next.
