is a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer tateu. This tweak is incredibly simple, but it can have very cool effects on your iPhone experience, especially if you find yourself constantly missing calls because you were unaware that they rang due to other things going on in the background.
After Call Waiting Notification is installed, it will not run in the background or show any preferences at all. But when an incoming call arrives, it will pop up a message very similar to how SMS messages work in iOS 5. The notification is much like Apple’s Phone app when it asks you if you want to answer the call.
comparison
The difference between this tweak and Apple’s implementation is that Call Waiting Notification gives you the option to decline the incoming call. It also gives you the option to answer it, which would hang up on the current call if necessary.
If you choose to ignore your incoming call for whatever reason, then it will keep ringing normally through your native dialer. If you tap Decline however, then it will go straight to voicemail.
One thing that I don’t like about this tweak is that it doesn’t give you the option to answer the call with headphones on, because you have to remove them first. And if someone calls during school or work, then this can be a bit of an annoyance. I think that having that added feature would make it a lot more useful than it is.
What is call waiting notification and what are the benefits of having it turned on?
Call waiting notification is an iOS feature that allows you to answer incoming calls even if you are already on a phone call. This means that it will not let the first caller leave a voice mail or just wait till your call with another person has ended. It is quite simple actually, when you have this option turned on all you need to do to answer a second call while on a first is just tap Decline and then the Answer button.
There are many benefits that come with having this feature turned on, probably the best one is that you will not miss an important phone call because you were busy with something else. Another great benefit of having it is that if you are in the middle of an important phone call, you will not have to worry about the person on the other line waiting for you.

conclusion
For all those iOS 6 users who have been looking for a simple way to answer calls without having to drop the current one, this is probably the best choice. I would most definitely recommend it to anyone who wants features similar to that of iOS 5 on a newer version of their iPhone.
