The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows 98
This article was previously published under Q139516 SYMPTOMS
Phone Dialer does not dial the code to disable call waiting, even though
the "This location has call waiting. To disable it, dial <code>" option
is enabled in Dialing properties.
CAUSE
Phone Dialer does not use this setting.
RESOLUTION
To add a code to disable call waiting to the phone number being dialed,
use any one of the following methods:
- Insert the code to disable call waiting as part of the number to
be dialed. For example, enter the following number to be dialed:
NOTE: Depending on your area or phone type, the code to disable call
waiting could be *70, 70#, or 1170. If you are unsure of the correct
code, please contact your local phone company.
- Insert the code to disable call waiting as part of the outside line
access field in Dialing properties. If you do so, make sure to clear
the "This location has call waiting. To disable it, dial <code>"
check box in Dialing properties to avoid having the code dialed
twice in other programs (such as Dial-Up Networking).
STATUS
This behavior is by design. The disable call waiting setting is used for
modem and fax calls only.
