Turn call waiting on and off
When you're on a call and a new call comes in, the new call is sent to voicemail. If you want to be notified of
new calls instead, turn on call waiting.
Note: Some carriers automatically control call waiting. If you do not see this option on your phone,
contact your carrier for more information.

When call waiting is on, if you're on a call and a new call comes in, you can answer it. The first call is put on
hold. Touch
