June 18, 2015 at 9:17 amThis depends on your carrier.
In phone app, tap the menu key (3 vertical dots), tap settings – call settings – additional settings, enable call waiting.

Bill W says
December 13, 2017 at 4:17 pmMy XT1060 is apparently stuck on mute mic, as people cannot hear me when I call. I have hit the mute/unmute button numerous times. Is this indicative that the phone is defective? I have only had it a couple of months.
simon says
December 16, 2017 at 1:49 pmdoes this happen to receiving calls?
William Wiseman says
December 16, 2017 at 2:22 pmIt only happened on outgoing calls. I don’t get many incoming calls, so I don’t know. I solved the issue by shutting the phone off and rebooting it, but it shouldn’t have happened.
simon says
December 18, 2017 at 12:52 amIt could be caused by some third-party apps. Some buggy apps may mess up the mic after exiting.
