No, if you have call waiting and one line, you still only have one line.

You can't use the second line of a two-line phone unless you have a
second line to hook it to. But you can still use the two-line phone.
It's just that line two will be dead.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Which gets us back around to where we
were before on what to do with that second pair, whatever color it
turns out to be. Your non-telco choices are a _properly wired_ VOIP
arrangement, a cell phone using a cell-socket arrangement (again, if
properly wired), and god forbid, even a pair brought up from your
local teleco central office if that's the way you wish to go. PAT]
