Fastrack Supreme  
R74a00gg.FSU005 2106632 102809 12:57  
No Open-AT application (although the same problem occurs when trying to do this programmatically in an Open-AT application)  
Vodafone UK network

1. Accept an incoming call

> [@](#):
>
> +CRING: VOICE
> 
> ata  
> OK
> 
> at+clcc  
> +CLCC: 1,1,0,0,0,“+447xxxxxxxxx”,145
> 
> OK

2. Put that call on hold

> [@](#):
>
> at+chld=2  
> OK

3. Dial an outgoing call

> [@](#):
>
> atd 012xxxxxxxx;  
> +WIND: 5,2

4. The call fails - the called number is busy

> [@](#):
>
> BUSY
> 
> +WIND: 6,2

5. The Fastrack still knows that the other call is on hold, and the held caller is still hearing the holding tone

> [@](#):
>
> at+clcc  
> +CLCC: 1,1,1,0,0,“+447xxxxxxxxx”,145  
> OK

6. How do I reconnect to the held call❓

“add a held call to the conversation” doesn’t work

> [@](#):
>
> at+chld=3  
> +CME ERROR: 3

“release all active calls (if any exist) and accept the other (held or waiting) call” doesn’t work

> [@](#):
>
> at+chld=1  
> +CME ERROR: 3

“place all active calls (if any exist) on hold and accept the other (held or waiting) call” doesn’t work

> [@](#):
>
> at+chld=2  
> +CME ERROR: 3

“place all active calls on hold except call X with which communication is supported” doesn’t work

> [@](#):
>
> at+chld=21  
> +CME ERROR: 3

The call is still there:

> [@](#):
>
> at+clcc  
> +CLCC: 1,1,1,0,0,“+447xxxxxxxxx”,145
> 
> OK

I’ve just tried this with the same SIM in a SIMCOM SIM300 module, and the held call can be reconnected with any of:  
AT+CHLD=1  
AT+CHLD=2  
AT+CHLD=21  
AT+CHLD=3

and an old Siemens TC35i will reconnected the held call with either AT+CHLD=1 or AT+CHLD=2

An old Fastrack M1306B will reconnected the held call with either AT+CHLD=1 or AT+CHLD=2

So this appears to be a recent SiWi bug.

Have you tried the more recent versions of firmware?? R7.45.1 was recently released.
