How does call waiting work in OpenPhone?

You're on the phone with someone, but want to know if you have another incoming call. With call waiting, OpenPhone lets you know another person is calling you while you're on a call.

Note: Call waiting is only currently on the iOS app right now. Call waiting also only works on direct (non-shared) phone numbers. If you have a shared phone number and are on an existing call, your teammates will get other incoming calls to help you share the load. 

If you are on a call that you've received, the second incoming call will give you the following options:

  • End the existing call and accept the new call

  • Decline the new call

  • Put the existing call on hold while you accept the second call

  • End the existing call and accept the new call

  • Decline the new call
