Unfortunately, there's no other context.
I just have two lines:
Anruf Parken - Gruppe
Anruf Parken - individuell

Thanks
Clara
Steffen Walter Oct 7, 2008:
Please provide the wider source context in which the phrases are used. Thanks.

1. Group Call Park 2. Individual Call Park

"Anruf parken" can also mean "to park a call". Sometimes "hold" is also appropriate, but "park" is commonly used for businesses. See references for specifics.

neutral Orion Schmidt : I believe more context is necessary, since "putting a call on hold" and "parking a call" are slightly different.
