No "End + Answer" or "Merge" calls options on Verizon iPhone???

Hello,

I had the iPhone 4 on AT&T, but recently switched to the Verizon version. There are several major problems that I have noticed:

1) When on a call, there is no "End + Answer" button when a new call comes through. The only buttons are "Ignore" and "Hold + Answer". This is a MAJOR problem for me right now

2) When on a call and I use the "Hold + Answer" button, there is no "Merge" calls option. How can this be possible?

3) On the Phone settings, there is no easy way to forward calls like on the AT&T version.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated as I am ready to switch back.

Thanks,
Danny

forwarding calls is in the manual I believe its done by dialing a couple numbers instead of a setting in the phone

*72 to turn it on *73 to turn it off


the merge call button is not working at the moment your not the first one to notice this someone did yesterday as far as the end call button thats the first I heard of it

I would submit bugs to apple

This is obvsiously a response to and old post, but I just compared the difference between the call functions on the Verizon iPhone 4S and the AT&T iPhone 4. For Verizon, when someone is talking on the phone, and another person calls, your only options are to Ignore, Hold Call and Answer, or End. The first two operate the same on both each type of phone. The "End" function on the Verizon ends the current conversation, and waits for the new call to be rereceived. That's not exactly a technical term, but what happens is that all phone calls end (the screen actually goes back to the phone app recent call screen or keypad), and the 2nd call that was received rerings the phone. The person calling the phone hears a normal ringing tone with the intermittent beeps that signals the other person is on the other line. I hope this makes sense to you. When someone calls the AT&T phone, the options are Ignore, Hold Call and Answer, and End Call and Answer. If you select the End Call and Answer, the phone immediately ends the current call and changes to the new call. Interesting difference, particularly when compared side-by-side, or when an AT&T iPhone user tries to help a Verizon iPhone user. Have fun figuring out why this exists and who is to blame!

If you press "END" in this situation it actually does NOT end both calls. It will end the call you are on. It will go back to whatever screen you were on before the call (phone ap, home screen, etc). And it will certainly LOOK like it has ended both calls... then your phone will ring again from the number that was calling into you. It seems like the person just called back after you hung up on them, but it did not. Their phone was still ringing the whole time.


It actually does the same thing as "End Call and Answer" it just takes a little longer and appears that you have hung up on them.
