Call waiting

theffschool · May 20, 2018

Is there any app for android which has following feature.

I am most of the time busy on a call and I have activated call waiting service. Is there a way that when I am busy on a call and someone else try to call me,  the current call automatically gets droped and new incomminng call starts to ring. I am doing this to avoid other caller to know that I am already busy on another call as call waiting service notifies other person. I am doing this because if my number is waiting on another call then I have to call back that person and it costs me. I just want an app that drops the ongoing call in a blink of second so call waiting doesnot even geta trigger for another caller. Any help

Not that I am aware of but when you are on a current call, do you get notified of another incoming call? If so, can you just place the current call on hold and answer the 2nd call?

That does seem better, unless there is some reason the OP doesn't want the second caller to know they were in a call other than just not wanting to call back.

What's requested seems odd to me: to drop the first call instantly, no matter who it is or where they are in the conversation, rather than let the (unknown, possibly trivial) second caller know they are speaking to someone else, even though they say they spend a lot of time in calls and have call waiting for that reason. And what happens with the person who gets dropped? Either they call back, causing the second person to be dropped (which could then go on until one of them decides it's not worth bothering with you) or you have to call them back anyway (making this pointless).

Anyway, I'm sure the answer is no. What you are asking for would have to be done by the network. In principle you could probably produce a modified in call ui (the system app that handles calls) that would drop/switch calls when it received the call waiting notification, but that's modifying a system app, so a root mod, and one I've never heard of - I really cannot imagine there is much demand for this. And it's still possible that by then the other person has heard the call waiting notification (network generated), which if people start calling back may give the game away and do nothing for your reputation.
