Call Waiting

The Call Waiting tones heard while you are on a call are:

Call Waiting Tone

Description

One Short Ring

Internal Call

 

 

Long Ring-Beep

External Call

 

 

If you choose not to answer the call waiting, the caller either continues to hear ringing or could be automatically forwarded to another extension, voice mail, or the operator, depending on the system design.

An extension can have only one call waiting at a time. If another party calls, they will hear busy tone or ringing if the call is programmed to ring on another extension.

The Call Waiting tone is heard one time only and only on the extension that is called. However, if you receive more than one call during a phone conversation, you will hear a call waiting tone for each call.

Internal callers dialing a busy extension hear a ring-beep tone that indicates the line is busy and they are in the call waiting state.

An external caller that is Call Waiting may hear a regular ringing tone in place of the ring-beep.

Depending on the system design, you are call waiting on a busy extension:

ƒUntil the party you are calling answers

ƒUntil a pre-set time period expires and the system forwards your call to another extension

ƒUntil you decide to hang up
