USING 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. 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.
>A tone will signal to tell you a new call has come in. The message “Call Wait” will appear in the display. (If you do not want to interrupt your current call, just ignore the signal and the call will be forwarded to your Answering Machine.)
>Press 
. This puts your current call on hold and connects your new call.
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 
. This puts your current call on hold and automatically dials your new call.
You can also switch back and forth between two calls.
>Press

Pressing 
switches you back and forth.
To place a call on hold:
