a lot of people use cell phones where there are no long distance charges. so if you have a land line you might be sure to tell them that you are paying long distance.
in your situation I will tell them that I have a minute phone and ask them to call me back or have the other party hold or I will call later but I won;t hold - it uses my minutes

I have several friends who use their phones for both personal and business calls. so no worries, i just hang up and they'll call me back.

I wonder if the OP is equally concerned about not wanting to be interrupted as about the cost????
but in general I agree wiht you - a call back is a great option!

hi felix 
i'm assuming if it's a friend, that they'll know if they are calling a cell or a landline. but even so..if i call, and i'm told they've got another call coming thru, i'm good with them calling me back as i'd rather be busy doing my own stuff than sitting on hold.
as for cost, if they call back..it's their cost..lol. win/win.

I'm a caregiver, and often get calls while I'm talking to my patient. Fortunately, my patient is quite understanding about me taking the other call. But I understand the frustration of someone calling and being put on hold for call waiting. It's like, "Oh, so the other call is more important than my call? Why did I even call, then?" The only number I give out is my cell number, which has 1,200 minutes or so, and I have free nationwide long distance.

My kids and friends all have the same agreement, if placed on hold and not gotten back to in two minutes, we or they don't take it personally, we just holler back to each other.

There are no long distance in this wee country. We pay a flat rate and can call anywhere within our boundary for no extra charge.
I'd have to dial International to be charged any extra.

Speaking of emergencies, we used to be on a party line with 4 families on the same line. One day, a woman interrupted my conversation, saying she had an emergency. I let her have the line to make her call. The emergency? She called a local tavern to tell them her husband better get home, pronto, or else!

OMGSH hugger...We had a party line too when I was a young girl! I remember my older brother getting on the line and telling the "Ms Yacky" that our brother fell down the stairs and we needed the line open, he was only trying to call his girlfriend...shame big brother of mine!!!
