Set up Call Waiting on Cloud Voice

Call Waiting lets you answer another incoming call while you're on the phone.

If you're already on a call and Call Waiting is on, you'll hear a Call Waiting tone when you get another call. If you want to answer this second call, put the current call on hold using the ‘hold’ key and answer the new call. You'll see each call on your phone; you can toggle between the calls using the ‘hold’ and ‘resume’ keys.

You can join all calls together (creating a three-way call) by pressing the ‘join’ key.

Without Call Waiting on your number, anyone calling when you’re on another call will either hear a busy tone, be diverted to your voicemail (if you have one activated) or be forwarded to another number (if you’ve set up call forwarding).
