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,

[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]
