Call-waiting audible sound

My company is thinking of discontinuing iPhones as our phones because of the audible call-waiting beep that clients can hear. Is there any solution to this problem yet? I'd really like to keep the iPhone!!!

The same happens to me sometimes. However, I always manage to make a call in the end.
Have you switched from 3.5G to GSM? Because I noticed that this has an effect on my device.

Call Waiting Audible

My IPhone 4S stopped giving an audible sound when a call comes in on call waiting. The waiting call shows up on the phone screen, but if I am not looking I miss the call. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What does "this topic has moved to the board" mean? Who moves this ?

IPhone 4 vibrates in my ear and makes audible sound while on call

Ever since I did the 4.2 update if I am on a call and message comes in, the phone vibrates in my ear and plays an audible sound that everyone around me can hear and also my caller. First time it happened it scared me so much I about dropped the phone. Now it just makes me mad. When the 4.3 update was released, I was hopeful this "bug" would be fixed. No such luck! Has anyone experienced this? Is there some way to stop the phone from doing this and have it just do the "soft" tone that only I can hear? I went to the apple store and the guy I spoke with suggested just turning off the vibrate. That is not the solution. What about the sound that it plays? Am I supposed to turn that off too? Then it wouldn't make any sound or vibrate. Niiiiiice! Just what I need. A phone that doesn't ring or vibrate.
Someone HELP!
Thanks!

I started a thread like this with my 3Gs iPhone. My solution was to disable the "Vibrate" feature under "Settings, Sounds, Silent" and when I get a phone call I just use the "silent/vibrate" switch on the side of the phone and it turns off all the sounds. Just make sure that you have the "Vibrate" under "Silent" turned off. That fix works for my iPhone 4 as well. Hope this helps.
Here's my thread from a while back: "http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2314868&tstart=0"

I have an Iphone5s and use Verizon. Frequently when I am on a call, it sounds like there is an incoming call which does not show up in either call waiting or missed calls.

I have an Iphone5s and use Verizon. Frequently when I am on a call, it sounds as if there is an incoming call but it does not show up in call waiting or in missed calls. When I went to check on line, the fix involved a screen that I did not even have on my phone. Anyone else have this problem and is there a solution? I can't seem to get tech support at Verizon. Boo.

Hi Debsy1,
Thanks for the additional details! Let's get this issue resolved. What software version is the device on? Please reset the Network Settings on the device. Go to settings>general>reset>reset network settings. Please Note: Audio alerts may also indicate delivery of incoming text messages or emails. The tone will vary based on the type of information being delivered to the device. Tones may also indicate low battery charge or inadequate signal strength. Keep me posted with results.
Thanks,

Call Waiting Has No Sound

My call waiting works but does not make any sound so I am constantly missing calls. Any ideas?

Try a reset. Hold down the sleep and home buttons for 10 seconds until you see the white Apple logo on the screen. Then test it again.

I have a small problem.
When I call somebody from my nokia 5800 and that person is talking to smb., so my call is on waiting, i don't hear anything and i don't even see it on my screen. So i don't know if that person is not answering or is on a call.

Barely audible sound from X-fi to Z5500s

(Barely audible sound from X-fi to Z5500s? For the past few weeks every other day or so after turning on my computer I get barely audible sound from my computer speakers (Z5500s) connected through the 6 ch direct. I can make out music or whatever it is, but it's extremely faint. I have an X-fi Platinum with the front pannel, and if I plug headphones into the front pannel I get normal sound. Likewise, anything else plugged into the Z5500s (e.g. iPod plugged into the 6 ch direct) works just fine.
To fix the problem I've been able to unplug the three audio cables going into the X-fi, wait a couple seconds, plug them back in, and everything's back to normal for a couple days. Today it happened, but I can't get normal sound from the card to the speakers no matter what I do (agian, everything else works fine). I tried replacing the cables connecting the X-fi to the Z5500 dock, and that fixed it for about 30 seconds, then it went out again.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas. In case someone asks, onboard sound is disabled.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I needed to use a mic (arenas in World of Warcraft) so I decided to enable my onboard audio. My plan was to use the X-Fi with the default driver for sound and the onboard audio for the mic. This worked. Today I decided to install the the X-Fi Titanium drivers...just for fun (full install). This is with the onboard audio still enabled. I did one thing different and that was select "headphones" as my speaker type. Now, I'm second guessing myself but I believe it didn't work right after the install. I then lock the screen for a few hours, it either sleeps or hibernates, and I come back to working sound.
bleh
Did a few more tests.
) Rebooting with it set to headphones will give me sound.
2) Changing it to 2. sound doesn't produce sound. Change it back to headphones does not produce sound. ?
3) After a reboot, I was playing a mp3 and the sound cut out after 30s.
4) After a reboot, waited 5 minutes, played same mp3 and got no sound.
5) Reboot, disable onboard audio, started to play mp3 and it cut out after 5s.
6) Reboot, disable JMicron AHCI Controller, play mp3 and it cut out after 20s.
7) Reboot, disable HPET Function, mp3 stops after a few seconds.
8) Reboot, plug in headphones instead of my Klipsch speakers and it took 5-0min for the sound to cut out.
Next step is to use my spare hard dri've with the rest of the computer parts from my old computer to install winxp and see if it is an issue there too.

Call waiting says "multiple calls" rather than listing the number or the contact. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Call waiting says "multiple calls" rather than listing the number or the contact. This error is not consistent, sometimes it says "multiple calls" and other times it lists the contact. This is happening on a coworker's iPhone 4s. Does anyone know how to get it to list the contact every time?
Thank you,
Dan

It sounds as though it may not be ending calls correctly, I would try restarting the phone, and then resetting all settings.

Call Waiting - Caller ID with FiOS

When I switched from wire service to FiOS, I lost the Call Waiting Caller ID function and was told by tech support at the time that all was OK with the account and with the switching circuit, but was a problem with my Verizon supplied Caller ID box (Remember this worked with the wire service). I purchased a new phone (GE model 25881 that has Call Waiting Caller ID function) but still no Call Waiting ID. I do get the beeps. Note: Caller ID works fine when I am not on the line. When contacting tech support, I was told that the some phones were not compatible with FiOS Call Waiting ID, but could not supply me with a list of phones that work or phones that are known not to work. Can anyone give me some phone models that are known to work? I do not want to keep purchasing phones only to have some tech tell me that it is not compatible?
Also, the tech told me that another customer had the same problem and had tried three phones without any success. To me, being an electrical engineer, this sounds like a service provider problem and not a phone problem. Thoughts?

When I switched from Comcast to Verizon, I lost the call waiting ID. Caller ID works imtermittently. I switched to verizon about a month ago and they are still not able to resolve the issue. Now they are saying that telephone service is not included in the 30 day trial period if sign up for FIOS triple play. If I I switch the service, they will charge me the early termination fee. The service representative who came to check said that verizon is aware of such problem in Pennsylvania areas. I think it is time for consumers to come to come together and think or organize filing class action law suit against verizon.

I get it but it's the same beep as the call waiting we've had on landlines for 20 years. Plus, in all my years working with and troubleshooting mobile devices I have never had anyone ask this question.
For which I will say that I didn't have call waiting on my landline when I last had one over ten years ago and I so rarely get a call from two numbers at once on my cell phone that it isn't something that I recognize. The beep also sounds like one of my other notification tones for Google reminders I think that I easily can ignore it until the end of the call.

Nokia 5800 call waiting

I have turned on call waiting. When I'm in a call and someone else calles me, I don't hear the normal beep sound like in other phones. It appears on the screen that someone is calling but I have to actually look at the screen while I'm talking with the first person to know that someone else is also calling me. It's difficult to start a coference call because of this problem. Thank you.

Under the Profile personalization set 'Warning Tone' to 'On' and also 'Alert For' to 'All Calls' and see if that makes it work..

Receive notification when I am calling "call waiting"

I used to receive notification when I am calling someone who is on another active call. It would either be a long beep after the regular ring or it would actually say "call waiting" on my phone. My Blackberry is 9300..

Hey mohnasa,
Welcome to the forums.
This sounds like a feature that is offered by your wireless service provider. I would suggest contacting them for more information as this is not a feature that is offered on the BlackBerry smartphone.

Why doesn't my call waiting feature work AT ALL?

My call waiting feature does not work at all. I receive absolutely no alert when I am on the phone and have a second incoming call. My phone goes straight to voicemail for the person who is attempting to call me while I'm on the phone.

Em83, We know that every call is important so let's look into this together! When did this issue first begin? Any new updates to the phone applications or software? Please confirm the software currently loaded in your phone, as well. We'll . Please share details.
