Using Call Waiting

Callers can still reach you while you are engaged in another call. A signal alerts you to the waiting call.
You can either ignore or accept the waiting call.
When you accept the waiting call, you can either end the first call or place it on hold and resume the call later on.
You can also bar call waiting or the call waiting tone
