Call Waiting
Don’t let incoming calls get away
when you’re on the phone
With Call Waiting, you won’t miss another important call! When you hear the
special tone, simply put the first caller on hold and answer the second call. Call
Waiting puts the power to regulate calls at your fingertips. You can easily override
the feature for uninterrupted calls.
How To Use Call Waiting
1. When you’re on the phone with call #1, a special tone will sound to alert
you of an incoming call.
2. To answer call #2 (and place call #1 on hold), depress the switch hook for
one second, then release. You’ll then be connected to call #2.
3. By depressing the switch hook, you can continue to switch back and forth
between call #1 and call #2.
How To Temporarily Cancel Call Waiting
1. Before you make your call, dial
*
70. (On a rotary phone dial 70, and wait
four seconds.)
2. Wait for a dial tone, and make your call. Cancel Call Waiting is in effect for
that call only.
3. By depressing the switch hook, you can continue to switch back and forth
between call #1 and call #2.
Custom Call
The ring tells you which calls are yours
Custom Call* is the inexpensive service that allows you to add an additional
telephone number while using your existing phone line. This additional number
has a different ringing tone to distinguish between incoming calls. Each number
is listed separately in the Dobson Telephone Directory. With Custom Call, there
will be no more mad dashes to the phone to answer someone else’s calls because
everyone in your home can instantly tell who the incoming call is for.
*A residential service only.
