Handling More than One Call
Your Ericsson I 888 WORLD allows you to handle more
than one call simultaneously. This means that you can
put a call that is in progress on hold, while you make or
answer a second call, and then switch between the two
calls. See also ‘Conference Calls’ at the end of this
chapter’.
