Multiple calls
When you have made a call, information about the call is shown on the
display. In addition to the active call, you can have a call on hold and a waiting
call at the same time. The conference call, which can accommodate up to five
remote participants, is handled as a single call.
To switch between multiple calls, use the arrow keys. The command buttons
change according to the status of the selected call. For example, a call on hold
can be changed to an active call by pressing Activate.
The call information may include the following (see figure 2):
The name or phone number of the caller and a picture, if available.
The status of the call: active, on hold, waiting, or conference, and whether the
audio is off.
The call timer displays how much time has expired since the beginning of the
call. The timer also counts the time spent on hold.
The call cost counter shows the cumulative cost of the call, if this network
service is available and the call cost setting is on. You can determine whether
to calculate the call costs in currency or charging units in the Telephone
settings, see ”Telephone settings” on page 53.
To end a call, select the call with the arrow keys and press End call.
