If you disable call waiting, all incoming calls will be sent directly to your voicemail. All other calls will be put into a queue and ring to your phone. If you have voicemail activated, the caller will have the option to leave a voicemail message.
If you don’t have voicemail activated, the incoming call will be disconnected.
If somebody calls while you are on the phone, they will not hear a beep and you will not be alerted to the incoming call. This can be useful if you want to be undisturbed while on a call or if you are in a meeting and don’t want to be bothered by other incoming calls.
Disabling call waiting also means that you will not be able to transfer an existing call to an incoming one, as is possible when call waiting is activated.
Why can’t I turn off Call Waiting on my iPhone?
Unfortunately, you are not able to directly turn off Call Waiting on your iPhone. Call Waiting is a feature that is automatically enabled on your phone so that you can be alerted to incoming calls while you’re on the line with someone else.
Apple has not provided an option to directly disable this feature on the iPhone; however, you may be able to turn off Call Waiting by contacting your network carrier. Your carrier may have a setting that you can change to disable this feature on your iPhone.
Check with your network carrier if you’re looking for a way to turn off Call Waiting on your iPhone. Alternatively, you can also set your iPhone to Do Not Disturb mode instead. When Do Not Disturb is enabled, incoming calls will go directly to voicemail and notifications for missed calls will not be displayed on your phone.
How do I change call waiting settings?
Changing call waiting settings depends on what type of device you are using and your service provider.
If you are using a landline, you can usually access call waiting settings by dialing *70 before placing a call. This will help you toggle call waiting on or off. If you want to check if call waiting is already enabled, dial *43.
If you’re using a cell phone, check your device options for call waiting settings. You may need to contact your service provider if you can’t find the call waiting settings. They will be able to help you set it up.
You can also dial *43 while on a call to see if call waiting is enabled or disabled.
If you’re using VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) or any internet-based communication service such as Skype, check their website instructions or access their customer support for instructions on how to enable or disable call waiting.
To ensure call waiting works properly on any device or service, be sure to enable and disable it each time you make or receive a call and check that it’s working properly.

What does it mean when Android says Call is waiting?
When Android says “Call is waiting,” it means that you are already in the middle of a call, but someone else is trying to reach you. When this happens, you will either see a message indicating “Call is waiting” or hear a tone that lets you know someone else is trying to reach you.
You can either switch over to the new call or reject it; if you reject it, the caller will be sent to voicemail. It’s important to note that the person whose call you are currently on will still be able to hear you while you are deciding what call to accept.
What does call is waiting mean on Samsung?
When you receive a call and you’re already on another call, Samsung’s “Call Waiting” feature will alert you to let you know someone else is trying to get through. You can either choose to answer the call or decline it.
If you choose to answer the call, the current call you’re on will be placed on hold while you take the other call. When the new call is ended, you will be connected back to your previous call. You can also decline the incoming call and the caller will be shown a busy signal, or sent to voicemail if you have that enabled.
How do you know if someone is calling while on another call in Samsung?
If you’re using a Samsung device, you will receive an incoming call alert that will tell you if someone is currently on another call. When you receive this alert, it will display the contact name of the incoming call and then a notification that they are currently on another call.
Additionally, you may also be able to see if someone is on another call by looking at the Home screen or the Notification panel; if someone is currently on another call, an icon similar to a person with two phones will appear, as a visual indication.
If you have Smart Call enabled, you may also receive notifications when someone who is already on a call with you calls back.
Does a busy signal mean your number is blocked?
No, a busy signal does not necessarily mean that your number is blocked. A busy signal can be caused by a number of other things, such as calling someone who is already on the phone or having a technical issue with the line.
It could also mean that the person has set their phone to not accept any incoming calls. It’s possible that the person has chosen to block your number, however, it isn’t the only possible explanation for a busy signal.
