Call Waiting

Call waiting is a feature that lets you know when someone else is trying to call you when you are already on a call. You can answer, reject or ignore this second call. The service is free and is already set up on all Airtel mobile phones.

How to handle a second call

When you are already on a call and when someone else calls, you will hear the call waiting tone (a beep). You can do the following:

  • End the first call and answer the second:
    • Press 1 then SEND (to end the current call).
    • You may now answer the second call.
    • Or
    • Press END (to end the current call).
    • You may now answer the second call.
  • Put the first call on hold and answer the second:
    • Ask the first caller to hold the line.
    • Press 2 then SEND.
    • You may now speak to the second caller.
    •  

To switch between the two calls:

  • Press 2 then SEND

 

Reject the second call:

  • Press 0 then SEND (This sends a busy tone to the second call)

You can also ignore the second call by taking no action when you hear the call-waiting tone.
