CALL WAITING/CALL HOLD

Omnipoint’s Call Waiting/Call Hold service is an important way to make sure you don’t miss important calls.

Call Waiting/Call Hold lets you accept a new call while you’re already on the phone. While you’re talking to someone, you can also make an outgoing call to someone else, and keep both calls active by placing one or the other on hold. You can also receive a third incoming call by terminating one of the two active calls. It’s an easy way to make plans and coordinate conversations among people.

Here’s how to answer a new call while a current call is in progress:

>The message “CALL WAIT” will appear in the display.

>If you want to answer the new call, press F. This puts your current call on hold and connects your new call.

>If you don’t want to interrupt your current call, press G. The new call will be forwarded to your Answering Machine.

While a call is in progress, here’s how to make an outgoing call:

>Dial the number you want to call while the current call is in progress.

>Press F. This puts your current call on hold and automatically dials your new call.

You can also switch back and forth between two calls.

>Press Fto put one call on hold and pick up the other. Pressing Fswitches you back and forth.

To place a call on hold:

> Press F.

To end an active call while maintaining the call on hold:

>Press G. The message “RETRIEVE HELD CALL” will appear on your display.

>Press Fwithin three seconds.

To end the call on hold:

>When “RETRIEVE HELD CALL” appears on your display, press G. (Note: if you do not press For Gwithin three seconds, “RETRIEVE HELD CALL” disappears from your display and both calls are ended.)
