Call Queue
Call Queue notifies you of incoming calls when you are already on the phone, and enables you to switch back and forth between the two. It also means that incoming callers will never get a busy signal (unless you get more than two incoming calls at once).
Call Queue is available in most areas. All you need is a touchtone phone. It also works with the Second Phone Number feature.
If you have a fax operating on the same number, we suggest using our Second Phone Number or Phone and Fax Line services, so that you never miss important faxes. TelstraClear requires 30 days notice of cancellation of PhoneLine Features. This means the usual charges will continue to apply for 30 days after the date you cancel your service, even if it is disconnected within that period.
Call Queue is easy to use:

- To return to the first caller, simply press the 'flash' or 'recall' button again and you will be able to continue your original conversation.
