Incoming calls
When the app is open, incoming calls are displayed immediately.
*Description of the operation and display under Incoming calls
The following symbol answers the call:
*Note: After the call/conversation has ended, the app switches back to the page previously opened via the navigation.
*Note: If the app is in the background, incoming calls will only be displayed when the app is selected.
Incoming calls – answered and missed – are saved in the call list.

Acoustic signalling 
The acoustic signaling of incoming calls depends on the device settings.
Notifications 
Depending on the device's notification settings, incoming calls are also signalled as notifications (tone/banner). The calls can be accepted or rejected via the notification. Accepting a call brings the app to the foreground. If the device is locked, incoming calls are signalled when a notification is permitted and can be accepted like normal calls. Then tap on the app logo to switch to the app. Unanswered calls are then displayed in the message centre and on the lock screen.
*Note: If incoming calls are also to be signalled when the focus is switched on, notifications for the app must be permitted in the focus configuration.
Call waiting 
The call waiting function can be used to signal incoming calls during an ongoing call.
*Description of the operation and display under Call-Waiting Calls
The signal is given by a sound or a message on the display.
You can do one of the following:
•Reject the call waiting call.
The call waiting caller hears the busy signal.
•You take the call waiting call.
You are then connected with the call waiting call. The previous call partner is held.
•You start a conference.
You are now connected with the call waiting call and the first call partner in a conference.
•You disconnect the current conversation.
You can accept the call as usual.
•You forward the call waiting call.
The call waiting caller also hears the ringing tone until the called person lifts their handset. You are now connected to the first call partner.
