Call waiting

Don't leave them hanging

If you're already on the phone, it's good to know when someone else is trying to reach you. Call Waiting tells you if another call is coming in with 4 helpful beeps. You can then answer it, or just stick with the call you’re on.

What do you already have at your place?

The Nitty Gritty

Call Waiting is great for busy households and for people running a business from home.

If you're on the phone and someone rings you, you'll hear four short beeps. You can then choose whether or not you answer the second call.

You can switch from one call to the other just by pressing the 'flash' or 'recall' button. Your other caller will just hear the normal ringing tone until you talk to them.

To return to the first caller, simply press the 'flash' or 'recall' button again and you will be able to continue your original conversation.

  • Call Waiting requires a touchtone phone and is available in most areas.
  • Call Minder may not be available or limited due to network constraints and incompatibility with other products and services.
  • Once you sign up for Smartphone services, you need to give us 30 days' notice if you want to cancel them. So the usual charges will continue to apply for 30 days after the date you actually cancel the service(s), even if the service itself is disconnected during that time.
