[mod.telecom] Cancel-Call-Waiting

clark@ssc-vax.UUCP (Roger Clark Swann) (08/05/86)

Someone recently asked me about cancelling call waiting while using
a modem on the line...

Someone else suggested using:  *70 555-1234    to do this....

I have never heard of being able to turn off this feature.  Has anyone else ?

[Cancel-call-waiting is a long overdue feature slowly being implemented
 in ESS and DMS switches across the country.  You'll have to check with
 your local business office to see if it yet available in your area.
 To use the feature, preceed your call with *70; you will hear the
 "confirmation tone" and then dial tone, after which you dial your
 destination number.  --Elmo]
