The second line does not work during an active conversation
Home > Questions > The second line does not work during an active conversation
Good afternoon! I've been using the phone for a week. There are several questions/complaints: 1) For some reason the second line does not work during an active conversation. the call simply drops and the phone does not allow you to switch or end the current conversation and activate the second line. This is extremely inconvenient, because... The phone is working and I have a lot of calls, and most importantly, all of them are important :). Please tell me how to deal with this? I looked in the settings and found nothing. There were no such problems on previous phones (S3 mini and Xperia). 2) in WhatsApp - I couldn’t find where the time for incoming messages is set. The time of outgoing messages (i.e. mine) is shown correctly, but incoming messages are some kind of nonsense. Can I do something about this? 3) Weather widget. the same nonsense with time. Shows 4 hours ahead. Moreover, the phone itself shows the correct time. In general, how inconvenient it is. I finally found a way out: I deleted it. I downloaded the clock separately from the playmarket and the weather separately... but the question remained open. 4) I can’t find the widget with contacts, the cat in the S3 mini was on a separate desktop (selected contacts with photos). Can I download it somewhere or install it somehow?
Modern life is so dynamic and active that many people often have to make many phone calls in one day. In order not to end up missing the most important one - from a colleague or loved one, it is better to take care of connecting the second line on your phone in advance.
Feature management
This option is automatically (by default) enabled on each number of the Megafon mobile operator. When a subscriber previously disabled it and now wants to restore it, you must:
- dial a special command - “*43#”, and then make a request;
- go to your “Personal Account”, where you follow the connection prompts;
- contact the technical support operator.
To cancel the service, you should dial the command “#43#” - make a request. Every Megafon user can use this service.
At the moment when we are talking on the phone and someone is trying to call us, the caller hears short beeps on the receiver, indicating that the line is busy. But if we connect a second line, the caller will hear a voice message
that we are already talking to someone. Also, he will be asked to call back later or wait until the called subscriber can accept the call.
The second line on MegaFon is available to subscribers of any tariff plans. And in order to start using this feature, you just need to connect it. But many subscribers simply do not know about this, continuing to use just one line.
By the way, the second line on MegaFon will also be useful for the called subscriber - he will see the second call, which can be very important. If you like to talk on the phone for a long time with friends and family and are afraid of missing an important call, feel free to connect a second line to your number, because this opportunity is provided absolutely free.
The second line at MegaFon is provided as part of the basic line. It allows you to accept a second call without interrupting the first call - this is a chance not to miss an important call. When receiving the second call, the called party will hear short beeps. The caller's details will also be displayed on the mobile phone screen.
. What actions can the called party take?
- Accept the second call by pressing the number 2 and the green handset key;
- Reject the second call by pressing the number 0 and the green handset key.
If during a conversation you need to return to the conversation with the first subscriber, just press the number 2 and the key with the green handset. Any of the current conversations can be interrupted by pressing 1 and the same green key.
The mobile phone itself can provide simpler call management - even older handsets provide dual call management functionality. Using on-screen prompts and the corresponding keys, we can quickly switch between calls or drop them
. This is much more convenient than operating the number keys, risking dropping all calls at once.
The second line on MegaFon is active for all subscribers, regardless of the tariff plans they use. Therefore, you do not need to connect it yourself - everything is already connected. There is no subscription fee
. As for call tariffs, it depends on the direction of calls. For example, both inboxes will remain free. If the first call was an outgoing call, then it will be charged according to the direction used, and the incoming call will be free (when on the home network).
Using the second line involves automatic use of the second basic free one. It is this that allows us to hold the first call while we are busy talking with the second caller. It also helps make outgoing calls on the second line while keeping the first subscriber on hold. This service is automatically connected to all MegaFon subscribers. Also, all MegaFon subscribers have access to the basic Conference Call service, which allows you to organize group calls to jointly discuss work or private issues.
Let us remind you that in a situation where your phone is out of network coverage or is turned off, the Voicemail service is activated. We have already talked about how to use the answering machine on MegaFon earlier.
You can connect a second line on MegaFon, if for some reason it turns out to be disconnected, using the USSD command *43#.
Joint call
Creating voice conferences using mobile communications was a popular activity long before the advent of Skype or other programs. To set up a parallel call on your Android phone, call one of the future participants in the group call.
One of the interlocutors must turn on the standby mode and dial the second person. An icon with a “plus” and the words “merge” will appear on the screen. Click on it, after which the voice conference will begin.
Enable a second line on iPhone
This is all. Now the second line of your iPhone is activated and you will not miss a single important call, even if you are busy talking with another interlocutor.
To all of the above, it is worth adding that for some operators the call waiting function may be disabled on their side or even be a paid service. In this case, the call waiting enable slider will not be active, and to activate the service you will need to contact your cellular operator.
If you see the message "Call Waiting could not be saved"
try rebooting your phone. If this does not help, check the availability of the service with the operator. If the operator says that the service is available to you, reset your phone settings - in this case the option appears in 100% of cases.
Most telecom operators have a second line feature. However, for some it is automatically connected, and some operators require activation of such a service. At the same time, the second line allows you to talk to two subscribers at once without disconnecting one of them. The function is very useful because it allows you not to miss important calls at work or from loved ones. The tele2 operator also allows its customers to use a similar service. The company calls it “Call Waiting and Holding.” The option allows you to make outgoing calls, as well as receive incoming calls, while actions occur directly at the time of conversation with another subscriber. But it goes into standby mode, that is, the conversation is held. It is not possible to evaluate the usefulness of the function, since it is recommended for activation for all clients. Description and control of the option is provided below.
For people who like to talk on the phone or are afraid of missing important or urgent calls, the service from Tele2 to connect a second line will be very useful. It allows you to be in touch at any time.
The operation of the option is very simple. During a conversation with a subscriber, as well as with another incoming call, a background sound appears on the phone, which signals another call. You can find out who exactly is calling by just looking at the screen of your mobile phone. During a call on the second line, you can do the following:
- Disconnect from the person with whom you are talking and accept another call;
- Switch the current conversation to standby mode and accept the call of another subscriber, and after the conversation switches to the first interlocutor;
- It is possible to ignore the call and continue the dialogue with the first interlocutor;
- Make an outgoing call, holding the first one on hold.
If there is a need, you can constantly switch between both calls, which allows you to alternately talk on two lines.
In addition, the functions of this option do not end there. In addition to the fact that subscribers go into standby mode, they can also be kept on the line. For example, when communicating with one person, I urgently needed to call another. Then, without the option activated, you should disconnect the person and dial another, but the second line allows you to put the person on hold and dial and talk to another person. After the call it will switch to the first one.
If we talk about the price of the service from Tele2, then today it is connected absolutely free. Also, the option from Tele2 does not have a subscription fee. But it is worth noting that calls made will be charged for calls according to the current tariff plan. Thus, when making a couple of calls at once, payment will be made in both directions. Even if one subscriber is on hold.
To manage all the features of the service, you can only use your mobile phone and its menu. When incoming calls are made, the screen will automatically provide control prompts. This allows you to easily disconnect or accept a call, as well as switch between two interlocutors. Similar tips are available on any mobile phone, regardless of year or model.
Regarding making outgoing calls, they are also made quite easily. During a conversation, you will need to go to the phone book, select the desired contact and press the call button. You can also use regular telephone dialing. In both cases, the interlocutor remains on the line, but in standby mode.
When working in standby or hold mode, you should pay close attention to the suggested tips on your phone. This will allow you not to lose your interlocutor and competently switch between subscribers.
