An incoming call during a phone call, also known as call waiting, is a telecommunication feature that alerts a user to an incoming call while they are already engaged in a conversation. When enabled, call waiting will typically produce an audible tone or visual indication on the user’s phone, notifying them of the incoming call. The user can then choose to answer the incoming call, place it on hold, or ignore it.
Call waiting can be a valuable feature for users who frequently engage in phone conversations and need to be aware of incoming calls. It allows users to manage their calls more effectively, prioritize which calls to take, and avoid missing important communications. Call waiting has become a standard feature on most modern phones and is widely used by individuals and businesses alike.
