Note: The transfer operation can be made only if

Answering a waiting call
Call waiting is a network service which must be

new call while you already have an active voice
call, you will see a note informing you of this.
A waiting call is answered, like any call, by se-

Note: You cannot access the DTMF view during
a conference call. However, you can send

Alternating calls
Alternating calls can be made to a fax box, for
example: you initiate the call as a voice call, but
it changes into a fax call when your fax box
starts to send you your faxes.
To make alternating calls you need to add a spe-
cial Tel/Fax field to the contact cards of the re-
cipients of your alternating calls (see chapter 3
"Contacts: Contact cards - Customising contact
cards" on page 3-2).
You can also change the mode of the call from
voice to fax manually by pressing Change mode.
Alternating calls cannot be put on hold or incor-
porated into a conference call.
