Quick question about Call Waiting

Simple question, easy answer. I just don't know it. When talking to someone on my phone (8900) and I get another call from someone else, I can take that other call, yet when I want to switch back to my other caller (by hitting send again?) I cannot. Am I supposed to wait for the second caller to hang up? After that happens the call is ended and I have to call caller #1 back. I've never really understood this... none of my friends have 8900's, most have lg's. They can use this feature fine, they just hit send a second time. Thanks for the help.

sometimes i have to hit send a couple times to switch back, but it usually works for me..

So do you hit send before caller #2 ends the call? If #2 ends the call, my 8900 simply ends all calls and goes back to the main screen. Sort of annoying.

OMG!! same thing happens to me. i thought i was just stupid and didnt know how to operate the phone. but i re-read the manual and i seem to be doing everything right. whether i push send before or after #2 hangs up i always hang up on #1. hmmmmm....

If I wait until #2 hangs up, my phone automatically thinks the call is done so it shows no call is operating. Thus, #1 is also cut-off. I'm not even sure #1 is on during the #2 connection.

Btw, this has happened to me with both the old firmware and the new, recent update (vers. m03.189).

Actually this had happened to me as well, i called *611 and asked if there was a problem with the call waiting, so i decided to test it on my own at work since i have 3 lines. I found out that it did work. So as long as you click over before the other person hangs up, it works just fine
