Call waiting

Call Waiting service alerts you to an incoming call while your line is in use. The service signals you with two separate tones or tone patterns. The tone pattern (single, double, triple beep) and interval between tones will depend upon switch configuration. The calling party may hear ringing or a tone/ring combination. This will also vary based upon switch configuration.
