Learn how to hold and resume calls on your Cisco Wireless Phone 9821. This Help article is for Cisco Wireless Phone 9821 registered to Webex Calling.
Put a call on hold
You can put an active call on hold and then resume it when you're ready. When you are on a call and receive an incoming call, answering the call automatically puts the active call on hold. In this situation, you can swap between the active and held calls.
