In my No 2 ESS disable call waiting is interchangeably any of the following
codes: 70#, *70, or 1170.

You obtain dial tone and then dial the desired number.  Call waiting is
disabled for the duration of the new cal

Some (but not all) exchanges permit you (if you have 3-Way-Calling) to flash,
dial 70#, and return to your existing call, which now has call waiting disabled
for the remainder of the call.
