Tenterhooks are hooks in a device called a tenter, used in the process of making woollen cloth. Being "on tenterhooks" means being in a state of tension, uneasiness, anxiety, i.e. feeling stretched like the cloth on the tenter.
The phone service has to have call waiting services to begin with. If the phone does have call waiting then when the person is on one call a beep will come through. Click on the swap calls and this will take you to the call waiting.
Normally, when a call is waiting, you hear a tone. Then, press the 'flash' button. If the phone does not have a 'flash' button, tap the 'hangup' button quickly (not on a cordless phone). Do the same to return to your original call.
To block call waiting on a landline phone, you typically need to activate a specific feature through your phone service provider. You can do this by dialing a code, such as *70 in the U.S., before making a call, which temporarily disables call waiting for that call. Alternatively, you can contact your service provider to permanently disable the call waiting feature on your line. Always check your provider’s documentation for the exact steps, as they can vary.
