Perhaps over a year ago, someone mentioned a couple of touch-tone sequences that would toggle on-and-off the Call Waiting feature. I have an interest in this as well. Does anyone know what these touch-tone sequences are? Many thanks, Warren Gish user@host.nlm.nih.gov [Moderator's Note: Surely. Preface the number you dial with *70, and call waiting will be suspended until you replace the receiver. Any calls arriving during the time that call is in progress will receive a busy signal (or hunt, if you have that feature). If you have three way calling, then you may also enter *70 to suspend call waiting on an incoming call, or at any point during a call in either direction. When you flash, dial *70, and you'll be returned to the call in progess. In some places it varies: try 70*, #70 and 70# also; one of the four should work, however a warning: not all CO's run the same generics, and here and there, suspend call waiting is not available. Call forwarding overrides call waiting. PT]

Additionally, some COs have it and don't have it i.e., we at PSU are served by the same Bell of PA CO as the adjacent community. There are at least 2 swtiches: one has Tone*Block (part of the Bell Atlantic (r) I.Q. (sm) Services Family), and one doesn't. Residential customers can specify that they want the T*B feature (no additional charge) and get assigned to the _right_ switch. Peter M.
