What is call waiting???

Question

What is call waiting?? is it that thing when u put someone on Hold and it plays music??

Answer 1

No, that's a completely difference feature that some phones have and some don't (the music thing).  Call waiting, in a sense, gives you a second phone line, so that if you're on the phone, and someone calls your number, it will beep or whatever, notifying you of another call, giving you the option to ignore it or put the person currently on the phone on hold while you answer the new/second call.  Some phone companies also have a feature that says the person calling so you don't have to pull the phone away from your face to see who it is (not totally sure why this is needed, but w/e).

Answer 2

no!! its that you can put ppl on hold to answer the second call!!

*56   Activates Call Waiting for all calls.

*57 Disables Call Waiting for all calls.

Answer 3

It is when you are talking to a person on the phone and someone else is trying to call you,the phone will make a beeping sound to let you know that someone else is trying to call you. If you want to see who it is ,you tell the person that you are talking to that you have another caller and click the phone,but don"t hang up or you will disconect from both callers. So, click the phone and say hello and the person that was calling will be on the line.You can either talk to them or tell them that you will call them back later because you are talking to someone else.Click the phone again and you will be back with the first person that you were talking to. May sound a bit confusing but it is a really good thing to have, so that you won't miss any important phone calls.

Answer 4

When you are on the phone and someone else calls you at the same time your on the phone, the phone beeps and you can press a button to switch between callers (puting some one on hold or 'waiting')--- Get it?

Hope this helps.
