Handling Multiple Calls
You can use the Active C all view to handle a variety of situation s that involve multi ple calls. During
an active call, you can receive or place another call, switch between two active calls, and create
a 3-way conference call. Fo r example, when you’re ta lking to a friend, you can p lace another call
to a restaurant to make dinn er reservations, and return to your friend to confirm the time and
place. You can also use call waitin g to receive an important incomin g call while you’re already on
the phone, and to facilitate 3-way co nference calls when you’re on the go.
To respond to call waiting, do one of the following:
■Tap Hold & Answer to place the first call on hold and answer the second call.
■Tap Drop & Answer to end the first call and answer the second call.
■Tap Ignore to send the second call to voicemail.

the second call.
