A fairly limited number of subscribers know about this availability. So they have to languish while waiting for the moment when the called interlocutor finishes his conversation. One of the leaders of the domestic mobile market, the operator MTS, provides this service with the corresponding option - “Call waiting and holding”. To find out how the Second Line of MTS functions, you just need to read the proposed article.
Using a second line is the only chance to keep two subscribers in touch at once. If you hear periodic beeping during a conversation, you will be notified that a call has arrived from another subscriber. You can accept it with one click of your finger. In this case, the previous interlocutor will have to hang on the line for a bit. The situation will be similar with outgoing calls. It will not be difficult for you to put the first subscriber on hold and dial the number of the second.
"Call Hold"
Allows you to make a new call while there is an active incoming or outgoing call. When a connection is established, the current call remains on so-called hold.
The service is provided absolutely free of charge and is already enabled by default on all numbers of individuals.
The service is not available on tariffs for corporate clients.
At will, the subscriber can disable “Call Hold” through the contact center operator or independently in the “FOX” self-service service. It is important to understand that if hold is disabled, Conference Call will not work.
“Call holding” is a standard service of GSM networks. It is presented and controlled on the equipment of Motiv subscribers using the same commands. Ordering and enabling the service from an operator is only half the battle. Activation is also required in the telephone itself. The commands below are suitable for any operator operating in the GSM standard:
- Activation of standby mode - *43#;
- Deactivating standby mode - #43#;
- Status check - *#43#.
Connecting/disconnecting the second line is free. This can be done in several ways:
IVR service. We call number ##914. After that, listening to the answering machine prompts, dial 1#15# to turn it on, and 2#35# to turn it off.
SMS service. Send an SMS with the text “On” or “OFF” to number 1029.
USSD service. To enable, dial *114*15#call. To turn off – *114*35# and press the dial key.
FOX. In Motiv’s personal account, go to the section with additional services, mark the required service for activation, or remove the mark if the need for it is no longer needed.
The only point worth remembering is that the “second line” is only available if you have a positive balance in your account. It is impossible to use it as a loan.

If call waiting doesn't work
Most mobile operators: MTS, Megafon, Tele2, Yota, Beeline and others have this service enabled by default. If, after activating call waiting, you do not receive a second call, you should contact your mobile network operator and ask to activate the service. To contact the operator, use the following numbers:
Useful tips
If you have only recently used a smartphone, think about protecting your device and disable the installation of applications from unknown sources. Users of instant messengers such as Whatsap and Viber began to receive mass spam mailings from various groups and users. Often this is sending viral messages or advertising. We recently wrote about how to combat spam in this article. A must-read for both new Android device users and experienced users.
How to enable a second line on iPhone
For the listed features to become available, you need to enable the second line in the settings. The procedure is performed in several stages:
- Login to Settings.
- Find the “Phone” item.
- When you go, a list of items opens from which you should select “Call Waiting”.
- Set the slider to the active position and move it to the right.
This feature is already active on some devices. To check this, you can ask a friend to call during a conversation.
Some operators make the service paid, and if switching the slider does not help, you need to call the hotline and clarify the information.
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.

What is a second line and why is it needed?
At the moment, mobile operators have already been able to adapt to the realities that people need.
Quick switching between subscribers, as well as the ability to interrupt one call to another without any communication problems - this is the second line.
The second line is a lifesaver for many people. When the user is on the line, but at that time someone else is calling him, he can quickly switch to another subscriber, while the one with whom the user communicated before will “hang” on the line, that is, the connection with him will remain the same .
to MegaFon
This service is provided to private and corporate Megafon subscribers in the “Call Waiting” plus “Call Hold” package. Together, these two functions allow you to find out whether someone else is trying to reach you during the current conversation and, if necessary, pause to answer.
For subscribers of many tariff plans, this feature offers economic benefits. The fact is that often the operator’s first minute of conversation costs more than subsequent minutes. The ability to pause a conversation briefly to respond to another contact and then continue the conversation reduces communication costs. This pattern is especially relevant for those people who talk on the phone a lot.
After connecting, the subscriber, whom someone is trying to reach during a conversation, learns about this with the help of special sound signals and:
- accepts a call on the second line without hanging up on the first line;
- answers an incoming call, and then ends it and returns to the first interlocutor;
- keeps both connections “connected” and can alternate between them.
In addition, the functionality allows you to pause the conversation yourself and call some other number. Hold means that the subscriber with whom the first conversation is being conducted is in standby mode while his interlocutor is busy with another conversation.
How to turn on standby mode
There are two ways to start hold mode:
- On one's own.
- During a call to the second line.
In the first case, you need to select the “put on hold” button on the touch screen. You can return to the conversation at any time by simply pressing again.
For information: if the proximity sensor on your smartphone does not work well. A subscriber can accidentally turn off the conversation microphone or put a call on hold by bringing the smartphone to their face.
The second option will only work if, during a conversation, a third person starts calling one of the subscribers. Action options will appear on the screen: reset the current caller and start a new call or put him on hold. Tired of unknown numbers?
