Figure 88: Notification of preemption of held call
This temporary disturbance is allowed because the held call was known 
to you and you need to know that the call on hold has been preempted. 
The incoming call that preempted the held call is shown when:
you complete dialing the call and a ring or busy signal is heard. It may 
be possible that the outgoing call can be preempted but only after ring 
or busy signal is heard. The incoming call is presented if the incoming 
call has not hung up. You can decide to answer the new incoming call
