Call waiting
Call waiting lets you take another call when you’re already on the phone. Just dial *43# [send] and you’ll be able to see if someone’s trying to get through when you’re already on a call. It’s free to all O2 customers.
Next set of tips is for those of you wanting to use Exchange (whether business or personal) rather than Live for your contacts and calendar.
- Outlook in Office 2010 will enable you to have 2 Exchange accounts on the same profile! This means that if you have a business and personal exchange account you can have them both open on one Outlook at the same time and it means you can do the same drag and drop as if you had used the Outlook connector to link to Live!
- When setting up the Exchange accounts on the phone, remember – the Server is the OWA address not the actual server address.
