Choosing the Call Waiting ID option
You use the Call Waiting ID option to turn the display of
Call Waiting ID on or off. You choose the Call Waiting
Option for Line 1 and Line 2 independently.
When Call Waiting ID is on
When you receive a Call Waiting call and the Call Waiting
ID option is on, you’ll see the name and number of the
Call Waiting caller on the telephone display and in
Personal Call Manager. (In Personal Call Manager, Call
Waiting callers appear in the Calls box the same way
regular calls do.)
Note
: You will not receive Call Waiting ID when an
extension telephone (another telephone in your house or
business) is using the same telephone line.
When Call Waiting ID is off
You can also choose to suppress the display of Call
Waiting ID by turning the Call Waiting ID option off.
When the Call Waiting display is turned off, you still hear
the Call Waiting tone when a Call Waiting call comes in,
but the identification information for the Call Waiting
caller does not appear on your telephone display screen.
Note
: Turning the Call Waiting ID option on or off does
not turn the Call Waiting feature itself on or off. It only
determines whether Call Waiting ID information appears
on the telephone display. To unsubscribe from the Call
Waiting feature, contact your telephone company.
