Call Waiting

How it works:

You can use your telephone without missing other calls. A special tone alerts you to a waiting call; the person calling you hears normal ringing. Cost of Call Waiting is $1.75 for residence and $2.25 for business per month.

To answer a waiting call:

1. When you are on the phone, a special tone tells you a second call is waiting.
2. Simply press and quickly release the "switchhook" on your telephone. Your first caller is automatically placed on hold while you are connected with the second caller.

If you choose not to answer the incoming call:

1. You will hear a special tone to remind you of the waiting call.

To alternate between calls:

1. Simply press and quickly release the "switchhook." While you talk with one caller, the other person will automatically be placed on hold. Each conversation remains private.

To end either call:

1. Hang up.
2. Your phone will ring.
3. When you answer, you will be connected with the remaining caller.
