@YWataBros So it's for putting a call "on hold" as they say. なるほど！ 返事本当にありがとう！

@thijsseghers キャッチ is a button for call waiting.

In Japan we say キャッチ(catch), because NTT first spread this service as キャッチホン(catch phone).

@thijsseghers That was my question exactly, and we had the same guess. But I'm not sure what a Catch function would do.

Interesting video, thank you!

0:32 Can someone tell me what キャッチ (catch?), next to 消去, means? Is it something like "record"?

Thanks in advance!
