Sorry, I know this be an old topic. Am I correct that *70 is not the
universal method to override call waiting, that different telcos have
other codes or methods?

[Moderator's Note: You are correct. Some use 70#; most allow use of 1170
for rotary dial phones, and sometimes 1170 will work from touchtone lines
as well. Some CO's using older generics don't even have this option. An
example is Morton Grove, IL; about the only place in the Chicago area
without this capability.  David Tamkin, is that correct?   PT]
