How to set up call waiting on iPhone

You can set up call waiting on iPhone if you have cellular service through a GSM network, and if your cellular service is through a CDMA network, your carrier has information about setting up call waiting. Without it, incoming calls go directly to voicemail while you’re on a call.

On models with Dual SIM, it works only for calls on the same line, except when the other line has Wi-Fi Calling on and a data connection is available.

  1. Start the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Apps, then tap Phone.
  3. Tap Call Waiting, then turn on Call Waiting.

With call waiting turned off, incoming calls go straight to voicemail during a call. On an iPhone with Dual SIM, call waiting covers only incoming calls on the same line. The exception is when Wi-Fi Calling is turned on for the other line and a data connection is available.
