8 Advanced calling features

This chapter describes advanced calling features such as conference calling, using call waiting, and using credit cards for calls. Not all the features described here are available in all wireless network systems.

• SET IN-CALL OPTIONS

Your phone allows you to use a number of features during a call. These features are known as in-call options. To access an option during a call, press Options, and choose one of the following options:

Note: Many in-call options are network service features. To use these options, you may need to contact your service provider.

Loudspeaker—Activates the speaker phone.

Lock keypad—Activates Keyguard.

Record—Record sounds with your phone and listen to them later.

Equalizer—Customizes the audio properties of your phone.

New call—Creates a new call while in a call.

Touch tones—Manually enter a touch tone string (series of tones) or search for a string in your phone.

End all calls—Ends all active calls.

Contacts—Use the phone book. Once you open the phone book, pressing the End key will not close the phone book, but it will end the current call.

Menu—Takes you to the main menus.

Mute—Mutes the phone microphone. If the microphone has already been muted, Unmute appears instead of Mute. Press OK to choose either of these options.

Note: The above options can affect the microphones of any enhancements connected to the phone.

• CALL WAITING

If you have call waiting, your phone beeps during a call to let you know that someone else is calling you. Depending on your caller ID setup, the phone might also show the number of the incoming call. Once call waiting has been activated, Call waiting appears as a menu option.

Note: Call waiting is a network dependent feature. In some networks the call waiting code must be activated manually. Contact your service provider for availability and full details.
