Hi Kathy,
I am reposting the below message, hope this helps: If you are using a headset this is extremely easy, if you are on a call and another call comes in just press the Play./Pause/Talk/Hangup button on the headset remote. This will automatically put the first caller on hold and answer the second call. When you are done with the second call you can press it again to go back to the first. I believe that if you wait until the second caller hangs up the phone will automatically switch back to the first call as well. Now, without a headset this a bit more tricky. Actually switching to the second call and putting the first caller on hold is relatively easy, it is getting the first caller back that is not as easy. First you have to make sure that your Voiceover volume is reasonably high so you can hear Voiceover during the call. Now, when another person calls, tell the first caller to hold, then take your phone away from your ear and wait a second or two to give the proximity sensor time to switch to speakerphone otherwise you can't hear Voiceover. Now touch the bottom left of the screen, Voiceover will say "Hold Call + Answer". If you touch the right side at the botton it is "End Call + Answer" which of course answers the second call, but it disconnects the first caller. It is quite easy to find these buttons, the Hold + Answer is more or less from the left edge of the screen to the Home Key and the End Call + Answer is from the Home key to the right side of the screen. Now, once you are done with the second caller you have to once again take your phone away from your ear, it is easiest to just wait a bit until the other person hangs up, then further up on the screen you find a Hold Button which I believe Voiceover announces as selected. Double tap it and you should get the first caller back. I more often than not use the headphones especially if I am walking around or if I am making several calls or longer calls. It's just a lot more comfortable and easy. Hope this helps a bit. You can of course practice this and I very much encourage you to do so in order to become comfortable and quick. It is easiest if you have a couple of friends over and just ask them to call you one at a time and give it a try. I also practiced this deliberately a few times because I was sick and tired of either not being able to switch fast enough or of hanging up on the original caller because I couldn't figure out how to get back to them.
