Call Waiting
If an incoming call arrives while you are
already engaged on a telephone call,
you will hear a soft beep every 5 seconds
(this beep is not audible to the person
you are speaking to).
If you have also subscribed to a Caller
Display Service, the caller’s number or
name if stored in the directory will be
shown on the display for 20 seconds,
after this time the display will return to
your first caller’s details.
Instead of the engaged tone, the
second caller will hear an announcement
to hold as you are aware that there is a
second call.
IMPORTANT
To use Call Waiting you must first
subscribe to the service from your
Network Provider. A quarterly fee is
payable. For more information on
BT’s Select Services call BT free on

To use Call Waiting
You can answer the second
call, without disconnecting your
first caller, by pressing the
CALL WAITING button. The
first caller will be put on hold.
When you have spoken to the
second caller you can return to
the first caller by pressing the
CALL WAITING button again.
You can switch back and forth
between the two calls without
disconnecting either if you wish.
If you disconnect the first call,
press the TALK button after
speaking to the first caller.
The handset will then ring.
Press the TALK button again
and continue with the second
caller.
The second caller will only be
charged for their call from the
moment you answer and not
while they are waiting for your
initial contact.
