Chapter 9 – Supplementary Service Commands

Send Flash to Base Station +WFSH

Description: This command sends a flash or flash with information to the base station. The flash command is used to manage call waiting and 3-way calls. For call waiting situations when the 3 party call is received, send a flash (AT+WFSH) to toggle between the two different call parties. The +WFSH unsolicited AT command will be returned if a flash was sent to the base station over the air. Note that on CDMA networks, this does not guarantee that an actual switch between calls took place, because there is no acknowledgement to the modem. For 3-way calls, initiate the first call to party # 1 (see ATD). Then send a flash with information (AT+WFSH=18005551212) to initiate a call to party # 2, party # 1 will automatically be placed on hold. The “information” is the phone number of party # 2. Once a conversation with party # 2 is established, send a regular flash (AT+WFSH) to connect all 3 parties. Send another flash (AT+WFSH) to disconnect party # 2, or End call (see ATH) to end the call with all parties. rd
