Call Waiting

The Verizon Call Waiting service provides
you with a special alerting tone when a
caller is trying to call you while you are
already on a call. You can press the
'FLASH' button to put the current call on
hold and speak with the Call Waiting caller.
Pressing the 'FLASH' button again will
toggle the call between the original caller
and the Call Waiting caller.
Caller-ID With Call Waiting
The Caller-ID With Call Waiting (CIDCW)
service blends the best of Call Waiting and
Caller-ID services by showing you who is
calling while you are already on a call. This
service can be very useful to allow you to
use your telephone without worrying about
missing an important call. Because the
caller's number and name are displayed,
you can decide whether to put your current
call on hold and answer the new waiting
call, or ignore the new waiting call and
continue talking on the current call.
When you have subscribed to CIDCW and a
new call is received while you are already
on a call, you will hear a special alerting
signal and then the caller's information will
be displayed.
See the information on the sidebar on
this page regarding Call Waiting Deluxe
menus.
IMPORTANT
To use the Verizon calling
features you will first need to
subscribe to the desired
features for which there may
be a monthly charge from
Verizon.
Call Waiting Deluxe
Call Waiting Deluxe
provides additional options
for Caller-ID with Call
Waiting. See page 31
regarding the special
menus used for Call
Waiting Deluxe. If these
menus are turned 'ON' then
you must use the menu
options and not the
'FLASH' key for Caller-ID
with Call Waiting.
If a Caller Hangs Up
If you have an active call,
and a 2
and one of these callers
hangs up, you may hear a
dialtone if you use the
waiting caller. In this case
you are ready to dial a 3-
Way call. Press
again to be connected to
the remaining caller.
If one of the callers hangs-
up, the T1960 may not
recognize this and may
display the incorrect caller
information on the display.
