To answer phone calls
When you receive a new phone call, a dialog box appears on your handheld's
screen, prompting you to answer or ignore the call.
• If you are not connected to any other phone calls and want to answer the
call, click Answer. You are connected to the call.
• If you are not connected to any other phone calls and want to answer the
call and put the caller on hold, click Answer And Hold. You are
connected to the call but it is put on hold immediately. To resume your
call, click the trackwheel to view the menu. Click Resume.
• If you are already connected to a phone call but have finished your
conversation and want to answer the incoming call, click Answer - Drop
Current. The first phone call is disconnected and you are connected to the
incoming call.
• If you are already connected to a phone call but have not finished your
conversation and want to answer the incoming call, click Answer - Hold
Current. The current phone call is put on hold and you are connected to
the incoming call.
• If you do not want to answer the incoming phone call, click Ignore. The
caller hears a busy signal or is directed to your voice mail, depending on
your service plan.
Note: You must subscribe to a call waiting service for the Answer And Hold, Answer -
Drop Current, and Answer - Hold Current items to appear when you receive an
incoming call. Also, in the Phone options, on the Call Waiting screen, Call Waiting must
be enabled for these items to appear.
If you are already connected to a call when you receive a new phone call, you can set up
a three-way call. Refer to "Placing three-way calls" on page 144 for more information.
You can also press the button on the headset to answer a call.
If you are composing an email or PIN message or are using another handheld
application when you receive a phone call, the action is interrupted until you answer or
ignore the phone call. If you answer the phone call, the Active Call screen appears. To
return to the last application that you were using, click the trackwheel to view the menu
and click Hide Call. You return to the last application that you were using. You cannot
press the Escape button to return to the last application that you were using. Pressing
the Escape button while the Active Call screen is displayed prompts you to end the
phone call.
