Summary: State Regulatory Commission Message-ID: <960@raspail.UUCP> Date: 8 Oct 88 18:12:44 GMT References: <8858@watdragon.waterloo.edu> <590@pcrat.UUCP> Organization: Control Data Corporation, Arden Hills, MN Lines: 9 I don't know if this would help, but the temporary deactivation of call waiting is a free service in several states (Minnesota, for sure). Try writing your state regulatory commission (ours is call Public Utilities Commission) to find out why it's not bundled with call waiting. If enough people complained, they might make the phone company stop charging extra for it, especially if it's a freebie elsewhere. Bruce
