Hello, I know this was once answered on the net, but I did not get it back then. What is the code that temporarily disables the call waiting feature? Thanks in advance. Peter

(Of course, you have to replace the pound signs with the number...) I've heard it differs around the country, but you can look it up in your phone book (it's called "tone block", and it's ususally listed in the front of the phone book right after it describes call waiting). Or, you can call the phone company. seeya! Erik Hanson University of Maryland, Baltimore County ehanson@umbc2.umbc.edu

In most areas, enter *70 and you will hear a dailtone. When you now dial, call waiting will be disabled for the duration of this call only. -- ------------ ------------ ---------------------- Ben Liberman USENET magik@chinet.chi.il.us GEnie,Delphi MAGIK

Thanks to all who replied. For those who missed the numerous postings the code is *70 in most places. Peter
