Hey there phil0114,


We understand there are some issues getting reconnected with the original caller when you switch over to answer a new incoming call. We'll be happy to help.


To begin, take a few moments to double-check the steps you're using for managing a second call. Check those out in the section "Respond to a second call on the same line" here: While on a call on iPhone


We'd also suggest making sure your carrier settings are up-to-date: Update your carrier settings on your iPhone or iPad


Let us know how that goes or if you have any questions. Cheers!
