Description: Allows your call to not be interrupted by call waiting.

Now when you have a call that you don't want interrupted, you can prevent a second call from breaking into your line. To CANCEL CALL WAITING, simply dial an access code prior to placing your call. If you have THREE WAY CALLING, you can CANCEL CALL WAITING during a call.

In either case, the cancel request stays in effect for the duration of the call and any incoming calls receive a busy signal. This feature is especially helpful if you use a computer to send or receive data transmissions through your phone line.
