DEACTIVATION CALL WAITING
-------------------------
The following is a notice that Pacific Bell has sent out to
its CALL WAITING call waiting customers.
Dear Customer:
Pacific Bell is happy yo announce that on
December 14, 1985, you will recieve an
enhancement to your Call Waiting
feature. This new feature is called
CANCEL CALL WAITING. You might think of
it as a "Do Not Disturb" sign for your
telephone.
You already know how useful Call Waiting
is. But, have you ever been on an
important call and have a les important
call inturupt you? You will be able to
activate Cancel Call Waiting before
placing that important call. After you
hang up, or redial, your Call Waiting
feature will be automatically
reactivated.
Cancel Call Waiting is a feature
especially usefil to computer users who
send or recieve data over the telephone.
Call Waiting "beeps" can interfere with
the accuracy of transmission but Cancel
Call Waiting will keep the line
"beep-Free."
Activating your Cancel Call Waiting
feature is easy: get a dial tone, enter
the access code (on Touch Tone phones
enter * 70, on Rotary phones dial 1170),
wait for the second dial tone and make
your call. Call Waiting will be
reactivated when you hang up or make
another call.
Cancel Call Waiting must normally be
activated before you make your call.
However, if you have the Three-Way
Calling feature, you may activate Cancel
Call Waiting access code and then switch
back to the original call.
We hope you enjoy this new feature. You
will have it automatically on December
14, 1985. It is an enhancement to your
existing Call Waiting feature so there is
no additional charge for Cancel Call
Waiting.
Sincerely,
PACIFIC BELL
Notice in paragraph 3 that they said nothing about the
replacing switch boxes that will no longer allow data
transmission on 'normal' phone lines.
