From Wikipedia

Call waiting is a telephone service where a subscriber can accept a second incoming telephone call by placing an in-progress call on hold, and may also switch between calls. With some providers it can be combined with additional features such as conferencing, call forwarding, and caller ID. Call waiting is intended to alleviate the need to have more than one telephone line or number for voice communications. When a second call arrives, the subscriber is notified with a beep or tone. The user may then either switch to the new call or continue the existing conversation. The service is commonly used in both personal and business contexts, allowing individuals to manage multiple calls without a second phone line, and enabling small businesses to handle client calls without advanced call management systems.
