Incorrect Sentence :


Could you hold on? Another phone is coming.





Correct Sentence :


Could you hold on? Another phone is ringing. Correct Sentence :


Could you hold on? I am getting another call.


Since the word 'coming' implies approach, it cannot be used in the context of the telephone. A person may be coming, but the phone rings. It is thus important to ensure the suitability of the verb to the subject to which it refers.
