To connect a 2nd line to your phone, call the technical support number of your cellular operator and activate call waiting service. In this case, during your conversation with one subscriber, the speaker from the other will be in standby mode, or you will be able to make a call on the 2nd line yourself, without interrupting the 1st speaker.

Please note that during a conversation it is possible to switch between subscribers. Also, in some cases it is important to connect the conference call service. Also, when using the 2nd line, you reduce the number of chances of missing a significant volume, especially if you have a mechanical caller ID connected. This service can also be activated from the operator or at the local GTS office.

In order to enable the mode of 2 active SIM cards, purchase a special telephone unit. Please note that some of them easily have an adapter for a 2nd SIM card in their design, and you have to switch between them. More new models support the operation of both operator cards at the same time. Configure call parameters for them in the corresponding unit menu.

A mobile phone from any manufacturer, including Nokia, if it is turned on, can be in
conversation or
standby
. In order to put it into standby mode, you need to simply turn it on or end all current conversations. For most Nokia models, the key when switching to standby mode is the end call key.
Instructions
1.
Press and hold the end call key (second from the top on the right side of the keyboard, with the red handset icon) until the display lights up if your phone is switched off. If the unit is discharged or faulty, there will be no reaction on its part to this action. If the battery is discharged, you will need to connect the phone to an outlet and wait a little until it accumulates a little electricity, then repeat the operation. If your phone is faulty, have it repaired.
2.
If the reason your Nokia phone turns off is because the battery is completely discharged and the unit is being recharged, only an indicator may appear on the screen indicating that the phone is charging. Press the end call key again and hold it for a few seconds until the indicator disappears. Then press and hold again until the display lights up.
3.
Enter the PIN code as requested by the unit and press the selection confirmation key - top left. If the PIN code is correct, a message will appear on the screen that the code has been accepted, after which the Nokia screensaver will appear, after which the phone will turn on and work in standby mode. If you refused PIN code protection or it was not initially set, the phone will turn on immediately.
4.
End all current calls to switch from talk mode to standby mode. To do this, press the end call key, indicated by a red tube and located in the upper right part of the keyboard. If you have several calls in progress, end not only the current one, but also all the calls you are holding with the help of the end key. After this, the phone will go into standby mode, and you will be able to accept a call if someone dials your number, call the desired subscriber, or use additional options: send or receive SMS (their phone will also receive in talk mode), use the built-in radio, do take a photo or video, use an organizer, phone book, various applications, games, etc.
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.
Instructions
- Most often, the “Standby” mode is used as a second line on a mobile phone. Before connecting it to your phone, add this service to your tariff plan. To do this, call your mobile operator using the technical support short number and ask them to activate the “Call Waiting” mode. As soon as the operator makes changes to the tariff plan - as a rule, the service is free of charge - you can start changing the settings on the phone itself.
- To activate the connected one, go to the mobile phone menu and click on “Options” or “Settings”, depending on the device model. Then find the “Call”, “Phone” function or another similar function and check the box next to the “Call Waiting” mode. This will put the service into active mode.
- When you hear a beep during your next call, look at the screen. If the display shows a message about a second call, press the “answer” button and start talking without interrupting the line of the first call. At this time, the previous subscriber will listen to the standard waiting melody.
- If you want to connect a second line to a landline phone, first check whether the device supports this mode. Some older telephones are not capable of switching conversation modes from one line to another. If you have just such an outdated model, buy a new model at a cellular store or a store that sells household appliances. Then contact the telephone company that provides your landline service. Bring a certain package of documents, write an application according to the sample and wait until the second landline line is connected according to the processed application.
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.
Details
Billing is carried out for two calls simultaneously in accordance with the terms of your tariff plan, depending on the direction of your call, since during a conversation you hold two channels.
That is, both calls - active and held - are paid in accordance with the tariff plan you choose. Note: currently the MTS network supports one held and one active call. To answer the third incoming call, you need to end one of the previous ones.
- When connected, both Standby and Hold modes are turned on automatically.
- To activate the “Call Waiting” mode, you need to dial the free command on your phone: *43#.
- You can check the status by typing the command: *#43#.
- To deactivate the “Call Waiting” mode, you need to dial the command: #43#
When another call comes in during a call, you can:
- continue the conversation without paying attention to the beep.
- 0—reject the incoming call. The subscriber will hear a busy signal. If the Divert on busy service is enabled, this call will be forwarded to the specified number
- 1 - end the active conversation and accept the call.
- 2 or - accept the call.
- 2 — change the status of the call (keep the active call, and make the held call active).
- N—hold all active calls and make a new call to phone number N.
If your device supports Call Waiting, it may provide a simpler way to switch between connections to different callers. You can find this information in the instructions for your mobile phone.
When the Call Waiting function is active, during your conversation the caller hears long beeps or an auto-informer indicating that you are talking. A busy signal (short beeps) will sound to the caller if you hang up the second call.
Attention! When connecting to numbers 0850, 0876, 0887, 0880, 0890, 0990, 112, the ability to switch to a held line is not provided. Making an outgoing call or receiving an incoming call is possible only after the current call ends
Setting up a second line on the latest version of Android is not difficult. The developers left the function enabled by default, so you don’t have to go into the jungle of settings to launch it. Problems may only appear on phones with an external software shell.

For some mobile operators, this function is activated along with the SIM card by default. Tele2 allows its customers to decide for themselves: do they want to be available during a conversation or not? Let's look at how to connect a second line on Tele2 and how to use it in more detail.
How to use the second line
If a person receives a call, he will automatically hear a quiet ringtone while he is talking to another user.
- To see who is calling, just look at the phone screen.
- To switch to a new conversation, just reply to it. Don't be afraid that the second one will automatically turn off. It will not happen.
- After finishing the conversation with the second user, he is rejected, the connection goes back to the first.
If the user calls another person, he will hear a notification about the person's conversation. You must wait until the subscriber either accepts the call or negotiates with another user. Once accepted, the normal busy tone will appear.
How to enable call waiting on your Android phone
By the way, there is another great way to almost instantly enable call waiting on your Android phone.
I recommend. Log into the telephony app and then turn them on. To do this, click “Options” at the top left and go to settings.
Now go to the “Advanced” tab.
Here, in the “Call Waiting” section, move the slider to the right position.
This means that you will receive notifications about other incoming calls while you are on a call.
That's not all. Let's go back and go to another tab - “Signals when calling.
Here, opposite the line “Notification. During a call...”, also move the slider to the right.
Service management
Now let's look at the principle of operation of the service. Let us remind you that you can only communicate with two users at the same time. If you are talking to your interlocutor and the second subscriber is trying to reach you, you will hear a beep. Then proceed according to the instructions:
Call waiting/hold megaphone
- If you do not want to accept an incoming call, ignore the alert and take no action.
- To reject a non-essential call, press "0". At the other end of the line, the subscriber will hear short beeps and a busy signal. If the forwarding function is available, an automatic transfer to the specified telephone number will occur.
- Click on “1” to end the active conversation and start a new one.
- "2" or call button. After this, the status of the interlocutors will change. The old one will go into standby mode, and you will begin negotiations with the caller.
- “N”—all active conversations are put on hold. You can make an outgoing call in a different direction.
Most modern mobile devices display special buttons on the phone display when an additional connection arrives. Select the desired mode and continue voice communication.
How to turn on standby mode
There are two ways to start hold mode:
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? Find out how to get rid of them in the article: “How to add a person to the blacklist.”
How much does “Call Hold” cost on Megafon?

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.

How to set up a second line
While you are talking to someone on your mobile phone, other subscribers are unable to reach you. Instead of an answer, they only hear beeps.
In order not to miss an important call or combine several calls at the same time, you can use the second line service.
Let's figure out what this option is, when it can come in handy, how to connect, configure and disable a second line on different phones and when using SIM cards from different operators.
"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 “LISA” self-service service
It is important to understand that if hold is disabled, Conference Call will not work.

Important points in setting up call waiting on Android
Please note that the names may differ slightly from mine, depending on the android version and user interface.
In this case, I used a Samsung Galaxy phone with Android 6. Also, make sure that the call on hold option is active.
This feature has no other settings and can be turned on or off.
There are other settings in the telephony menu that you can play with, but with caution.
We are talking about call forwarding - be careful not to make a mistake. There you have the choice of when and which number will be forwarded to another.
You can also turn on call blocking, show or hide your phone number, and other options. All these settings are available in the Phone application menu. Good luck.
Most people require from mobile operators not only a convenient and profitable tariff, but also other additional points regarding the convenience of their communication. One of the most popular services is the second line. Many mobile operators have this function enabled automatically, but owners of Tele2 SIM cards are given the opportunity to decide for themselves whether they need this option or not. For the category of people who need it, connecting a second line to Tele2 will not be difficult.
Manual Internet setup "Motive"
Typically, operators send the settings automatically after registering a SIM card and activating it the first time it is launched, that is, inserted into the phone. This is a fairly common practice, but not all mobile devices support automatic reception and application of settings. That is why you need to understand in more detail how to manually configure Internet settings on your smartphone.
On Android
All parameters that need to be entered into the phone are indicated on the official website (cell.motivtelecom.ru). Next you need to do the following:
- go to phone settings from the main menu;
- select “SIM cards and mobile networks”;
- if you can insert two SIM cards, then you need to select the “Motive” card in the menu;
- in the window that opens, find the “Access point” parameter;
- add a new APN access point;
- enter the values: name – MOTIV, APN – inet.ycc.ru, name and password – motiv.
- save all changes and reboot the device.
iOS
The settings of all mobile phones are essentially no different from the settings of other devices. To configure the mobile network on Apple devices you need:
- go to the phone menu and select “Options”;
- find the “Cellular Communications” section and go to the subsection “Cellular Mobile Data Network”;
- select “APN access points” – “Create” (add);
- create a new access point with the same parameters that were described in the paragraph for Android;
- Restart the gadget and make sure that the connection signal and the Internet have appeared.
Important! All access points are configured with separate profiles. You just need to correctly enter all the data from the official website or from this material, save it and start using 4G mobile Internet according to your tariff
Windows Phone
All of the above steps are also suitable for setting up a network on Windows Mobile smartphones. Just in case, below are step-by-step instructions:
- open the system settings on your device in any way;
- select “Data transfer” – “Access point”;
- create a new access point with the parameters name – MOTIV, APN – inet.ycc.ru, name and password – motiv.
Enable a second line on iPhone
- First, open your iPhone's general settings by tapping the Settings on one of the home screens.
- Scroll down the list of settings a little and select "Phone" .
- In your phone settings, find the line called “Call Waiting” and click on it.
- On the settings page that opens, move the slider named “Call Waiting” to the “On” .
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 setting could not be saved,” try restarting 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.

What to do if the “Motiv” modem does not work
It often happens that not everything is so smooth and simple. The most common errors in device operation are failures during connection and configuration management. It is possible that the device itself is incorrectly inserted into the port or is incompatible with the operating system of the subscriber’s PC.
Errors when displaying the settings management page
If the modem is connected normally and there is a signal from it, but for some reason it cannot go to the settings page at the address indicated above, you can try the following:
- refresh the page using the F5 key or another method;
- open and close the browser and try to log in again;
- check availability of Internet access;
- try opening the settings in another browser;
- to restart a computer.
No data network connection
If an error occurs that there is no Internet connection, then the first thing you need to do is go through the following points and understand the reason:
- SIM card is installed incorrectly;
- the modem is damaged;
- Internet services are not connected or not paid for;
- The network settings connection mode may be set to manual;
- The PIN code verification option is enabled and needs to be deactivated.
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 .
This feature is very convenient. As a rule, it is configured through mobile operators, as well as using the smartphone settings. If the user is waiting for an important call, then the second line will also help him not to miss it. The service helps you hear soft beeps during an active conversation. The user, having heard these beeps, can also see the number of the person who is calling and after that decide whether to answer him or continue the conversation with the active interlocutor.
If a person connects a second line, then “call waiting” will be displayed on the screen of the user with whom the interlocutor spoke next, and he will also be accompanied by a pleasant melody, which is automatically installed in the phone function.
You can tell that the function is disabled by the fact that other people, trying to call a person, complain that he is constantly busy. They call, and the answer is that “the subscriber is busy.” This just means that a person is communicating with another, so he does not need to be disturbed. The second line is not included, so it is worth activating it, especially since this function is completely free for all operators, as well as on the phone itself.
More details about the function can be seen in this video
"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 “LISA” self-service service
It is important to understand that if hold is disabled, Conference Call will not work.
- Activation of standby mode - *43#;
- Deactivating standby mode - #43#;
- Status check - *#43#.
Why is a second line needed?
Second line, or call hold/waiting, is a feature that allows you to make multiple incoming or outgoing calls at the same time.
Thanks to the second line, you can not miss important calls or dial another number directly during a telephone conversation.
This can be very useful for work purposes: if during a conversation you need to clarify information with another person, you do not need to hang up the call. Put him on hold, call the desired number and find out all the necessary information.
Also, you will not miss if a courier arrives at you during a conversation with your parents, and so on.
The second line has 2 serious disadvantages:
- Outgoing calls on hold are charged at standard rates. If you hang around for 10 minutes while someone else is talking to someone else, you will have to pay for it. But there was no actual conversation.
- The function does not work for 2 or more SIM cards at the same time. The second line can only switch calls to one number, so to make calls from multiple SIMs, use different phones or do it in turns.
How much does the second line cost?
We have all long been accustomed to the fact that almost every useful service costs money. This is especially true when it comes to the services of cellular operators. We found out how to connect a second line to MTS, but how much will you have to pay for it? Oddly enough, but it is completely free
. There is no service connection fee or subscription fee. However, if the call is put on hold, you will have to pay for two calls at the same time. Tariffing is carried out in accordance with the terms of your tariff plan.
The service supports one held and one active call. It is not possible to answer the third incoming call; to do this, you must end one of the previous ones.
In conclusion, it should be said that the second line allows you not only to receive a second incoming call, but also to make outgoing calls. You can call another while you are talking to the current subscriber, and the current call will be put on hold.
When we talk on a mobile phone, other subscribers trying to call us are forced to wait until the busy line is free. At the same time, few people know that all Russian operators support such quite common functionality as a second line. This functionality is provided by the MTS operator with the Call Waiting and Holding service. How to connect a second line to MTS and what is needed for this?
The second line is an opportunity not to lose two simultaneously incoming calls
. For example, you are talking with relatives and waiting for a work call. When this call arrives, you will hear a characteristic beeping sound in the handset and will be able to accept the second incoming call, leaving the first call on hold. The same applies to outgoing calls - while talking to one subscriber, you can put him on hold and call another subscriber.
In this review, we will look in detail at how it works, offering us a second line on MTS.
Having a second line will allow us not to miss an important call when making an ongoing call. In this case, the second caller will not hear hang-up signals, but an offer to wait
until the called party can accept the call. At this time, the called subscriber will hear a “beeping” signal on his phone, notifying him of another incoming call. Upon hearing the second incoming call signal, the caller can do the following:
- Continue the current conversation, ignoring the second incoming call;
- Press the number 2 and the green key, accepting the second call and leaving the first caller on hold;
- Press the number 1 and the green key, accepting the second call and completely ending the first call;
- Press the number 0 and the green key - the second call will be dropped, and the current conversation will be continued.
All these actions can be performed without number keys, using the functionality of your mobile phone.
By the way, having a second line allows you not only to receive additional incoming calls, but also to make outgoing calls - for this you can do this directly during a conversation
with the current subscriber, dial the desired number and press the call button. After this, the current call will be placed on hold, and we will be able to call another subscriber.
As for charging, it all depends on the direction of the current and held calls. Both incoming calls will be free, and both outgoing calls will be charged according to the direction of calls, for example, intercity calls within Russia and local outgoing rates. When you are in intranet, national or international roaming, tariffs will correspond to the roaming tariff schedule for a particular direction.

Usage
If, while receiving a call, the phone receives an incoming call, then when the operation is activated, the operator will definitely see that it is activated. Notification is made using a series of short, gusty beeps. After this, it will be possible to switch between several calls, following the prompts that are available in the phone itself.
It is typical that the subscriber can independently select the number from the phone book that he needs to call when the function is turned on. In this situation, the outgoing call will be redirected to the second line, and the current conversation will be placed on hold.

Range of 4G USB modems offered
USB modems made using 4G technology and offered on the consumer market are considered among the highest speed among similar devices. Along with other mobile network operators, the company uses the frequency range permitted by the government of the Russian Federation for Internet access. The difference is that Megafon transmits a signal in the 2.6 GHz frequency range and uses a wider bandwidth - 40 MHz, which is four orders of magnitude higher than the parameters of other mobile operators. This allows us to significantly outstrip our closest competitors in terms of speed of information transfer on the network. Another advantage of the company’s 4G network is a fairly large number of base stations operating in 83 regions of Russia. In this parameter, Megafon is second only to the market leader - the mobile operator MTS.
Megafon was the first in Russia to use LTE base stations in its mobile communications network, modified to operate using 4G technology and a new standard for wireless high-speed information transmission. The company has about 28,000 stations, which is only two thousand less than its nearest competitor.
Currently, Megafon offers two types of 4G modems developed and manufactured by the Chinese company Huawei Technologies:
- USB modem M150–2. This is a modern modification of previous devices that were previously part of the line of modems for the 4G network. One of its main advantages is the speed of receiving and transmitting information up to 150 megabits per second. It has two CRC9 connectors for connecting more powerful external antennas. Connection to a computer is via a USB interface. The M150–2 modem can be used as a flash drive. To do this, it has a special slot for installing a microSD memory card up to 32 GB, located in the SIM card compartment.
- 4G+ (LTE)/Wi-Fi modem "MegaFon Turbo". This is an improved modification of the previous model, differing from it in the ability to use it in access point mode. Through it, up to 8 devices with a built-in Wi-Fi adapter can simultaneously connect to the Internet. But in terms of speed of transmission and reception of information, this modem is inferior to the M150-2 - its declared speed is 100 megabits per second. The modem supports Internet access in mobile networks operating using outdated 2G and 3G standards. To connect to them, you must set the automatic search and registration mode on the network. As in the previous version, it is possible to use a microSD flash card with a capacity of up to 32 gigabytes.
Appearance and equipment of 4G USB modems
In appearance and packaging, both modems from Megafon are not much different from each other.
Each sale includes:
- USB modem itself;
- SIM card with included Megafon-Online tariff;
- packing box;
- manual;
- warranty card.
The cost of devices ranges from 2590 rubles to 2899 rubles. The implementation of 4G USB modems is carried out in two ways:
The technical parameters of 4G USB modems, as stated, correspond to the operation of the devices under ideal conditions. In each specific case, the speed of reception and transmission of information depends on:
- 4G signal coverage areas in the region;
- proximity to the base station;
- the presence of natural obstacles in the path of the radio signal;
- base station transmitter power;
- tariff plan.

.You are waiting for an important phone call: the call volume and vibration are set to the desired level, your account has been replenished, your phone is at hand. At the same time, you do your business, and at the same time you are ready.
But at the same time, a small doubt gnaws at you: what if someone interrupts you with a call, and you miss that especially expected call, because the line will be busy.
Call waiting/holding service description
The option allows the consumer to communicate with several interlocutors simultaneously. After successful activation, you can receive incoming calls even while talking to another user. As soon as an incoming call occurs, you will receive a corresponding sound signal, as well as a number of suggestions for further actions on the screen of your mobile device. If you wish, you can answer an incoming call, while ending old conversations or leaving the subscriber on hold. Or, on the contrary, put the caller on hold.
Let's consider the features of tariffing and provision of proposals:
- The function is automatically installed on all tariff plans of the provider. If the contract was established before March 13, 2009, then it will need to be launched independently.
- When communicating with short and service numbers, the service is not provided. To answer an incoming call, you first need to end the previous one.
- There is no subscription fee or additional commission for using the second line service.
- The provider allows simultaneous communication with only two waiting users. While holding, start a conversation with the third one, you need to end one of the calls.
- Voice communications are charged in accordance with the current tariff plan on the SIM card. Moreover, the subscriber must pay for the active connection and the hold mode of the second interlocutor. In international roaming conditions, the cost is calculated based on the country you are currently in.
The main advantage of the offer is that you will not have to interrupt the connection to answer another incoming call.
How to connect and disconnect
Earlier it was said that this service is automatically installed on all SIM cards and is supplied in the starter kit. But this only applies to contracts that were executed after March 13, 2009. If you entered into a contract much earlier than this date, you will most likely have to activate the option. To find out what state the function is currently in, dial the short code USSD*#43# . After this, detailed information about the status of the application will be displayed on your screen. Make a connection if necessary. For this:
- Enter the USSD combination in the telesystem call menu - *43#. The service immediately becomes active.
- Register and initialize under your account in the user’s personal account service. Once in the main menu, you will see information about the current state of your mobile balance, remaining minutes and traffic. In this web interface you can install and disable any options, subscriptions and tariff plans. Just go to the services tab and find what you are looking for in the list. Click on it and run it. Everything is quite simple, all you need is Internet access.
- Download and install the official MTS application, it works great on any modern cell phone and does not require payment. This is a compact version of your personal account. Here you can also connect the second line. But download installation files only from trusted resources to avoid infecting your smartphone with viruses.
- Contact the manager of any service branch in your locality. Such offices are easy to find by their bright windows and red logo. They are located in almost every city in Russia.
- Call the hotline and ask the operator to enable the option on your SIM card. If you do not need this function, disable it using similar methods as when connecting, or enter the USSD request #43#.
Operating principle of the MTS Second Line
The presence of another line will allow you to find out about the second call in the current call mode. Once in front of a conversational interlocutor, the caller will be able to hear not the usual “hang up” sounds on the receiver, but a polite request to wait a little.
Simultaneously with the calling party, “beeping” sounds will appear in the called subscriber’s phone, informing about a new incoming call.
Depending on the importance of the first and second calls, the called party will have several options for conducting a conversation:
- You can ignore the appearance of the second call, calmly continuing the current conversation;
- To answer the persistent signals of the second caller and send the first one to the “standby” mode, you should press the “2” key and the green call key in turn;
- Alternately pressing the number “1” and the same green key will allow you to answer the second subscriber, and completely stop the conversation with the first;
- If the second incoming call is not interesting to you, you can simply drop it. To do this, after pressing the number “0” you will have to press the same green key.
By the way, these manipulations can be successfully performed without pressing number keys. The functionality of all mobile phones implements this process quite easily.
Important: Both smartphones and all phones support “second line” functions. But the third caller will not be able to reach the interlocutor. In any case, he will only be able to hear busy tones.
Using the second line function provides additional options both when receiving calls and when making them. Without interrupting the conversation, you can dial the necessary numbers on the keyboard and make a call. In this case, the current call will be put on hold, and you will be able to reach the second subscriber.
The pricing of the described service will be influenced by the directions of the calls made. There will be no charge for incoming calls, and outgoing calls will be charged at current rates. When the subscriber is in a roaming zone, the cost of calls will be determined by the current roaming network.
Whatever tariff the subscriber uses, he does not have to worry about how to enable a second line on MTS. The service will be available to absolutely everyone. Its activation is carried out using a USSD request in the format *43#. Using the same combination, you can check the status of the service.

How to enable the sleep function
Regardless of the manufacturer, the instructions for turning on are almost the same. Let's consider the algorithm of actions using the MIUI shell from Xiaomi as an example. Go to the settings of the “Phone” application. Typically, they can be accessed through an icon with three dots or stripes.
We find the line that says “Call waiting”. Set the slider to the active state. The instructions are suitable for setting up the call hold function on Android with shells from other companies. The sequence of actions is no different; only the names of the items may change.
