User Guide Phone

If your SIM card supports more than one phone number, and you are on a call, you cannot receive a call from the phone number that you are not using. Any calls to the phone number that you are not using will receive a busy signal or will be sent to voice mail. If you have a BlackBerry MVS Client phone number and another phone number, you can receive calls to either phone number even when you are on a call.

You can change call waiting, call forwarding, and voice mail options for each phone number associated with your device.
