Detecting a second incoming call while another is already active is not possible with CTelephony::NotifyChange().

Description

The ETEL 3rd party telephony API (CTelephony) provides a method to monitor changes in the voice line status:

void CTelephony::NotifyChange( TRequestStatus &aReqStatus, 
                                   const TNotificationEvent &aEvent, 
                                   TDes8 &aDes ) const;

If there is already an active voice call that is being monitored, no notification is received about a second incoming call. The voice line status as reported by CTelephony does not change, but remains as EStatusConnected.

Solution

A workaround is to use the following method to obtain the status for the second incoming call:

void RLine::NotifyIncomingCall( TRequestStatus& aStatus, TName& aName);

Note that RLine and other ETEL Core classes are deprecated in S60 3rd Edition, however the required headers and import libraries are still present on the SDK.
