Lines that are shared

History of CallCall waiting.

So, when did call waiting to become popular? In the early 1970s, that first introduced the feature in North America. Western Electric produced the first generation of electric PBXs at the same time. Electronic Signaling System 1 was the first generation of mechanical PBXs to be phased out. Initially, certain smaller communities would provide CallCall waiting for local businesses through a particular telephone exchange. Customers in Trenton, Michigan, for example, had to have a phone number that began with 671 to use call waiting. The new Electronic Signaling System (ESS) PBX only supported phone numbers beginning with 671 in the area. Customers’ demand expanded, and since that replaced the old switches, more and more people have had access to call waiting.

That also introduced CallCall waiting in Europe around the same time. The feature included the first digital PBX systems in Europe, such as Ericsson AX, Alcatel E10, and System 12. Other digital systems, such as System X in the United Kingdom, also supported the service. PBX systems, such as the German Siemens / Bosch EWSD, accepted calls waiting in the 1980s.
