Call Waiting - $2.25 Res / $3.75 Bus

Call Waiting allows the subscriber to be notified of an incoming call while they are using the telephone and allows them to answer that call without disconnecting the first. A brief tone will indicate another call is waiting on your line. A reminder tone will follow ten seconds later.

INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION:

If someone tries to call while you are using the telephone:

1. You will hear a short tone to indicate that another call is waiting on your line. The incoming caller only hears the usual ringing signal. A reminder tone will follow ten seconds later if you do not respond to the first signal.
   
2. If you wish to end the first call, hang up. Your phone will ring and the second (incoming) caller will be on the line.
   
3. Depress the switch hook for a second to place the first call on "hold" and to answer the second call.
   
4. Return to the first call by depressing the switch hook again, leaving the second call on "hold."
   
5. Alternate between the two calls as often as necessary by depressing the switch hook for a second to make the change.
   
6. To end either call, ask one party to hang up. Then depress the switch hook to return to the other call.

Things to Remember:

• When a call is waiting, the caller hears a normal ringing tone until you answer. Your conversation cannot be overheard.
  
• If a third party tries to call you when CALL WAITING is in effect, they will get a busy signal. You will not hear a signal.
  
• CALL WAITING works with local and long distance calls.
  With this service, you cannot talk to both parties at the same time.
  
• You may use the "Flash" or "Recall" buttons instead of depressing the switch hook. Please refer to your telephone's instructional manual to see whether your telephone is designed to use these buttons for Call Waiting.
