Modem Dial Up Connection Dies When I Get a Call

Yes I still use a dialup connection to get on the Internet.  We live in the country and no good prospects yet for high speed.
Anyway, I get kicked off the Internet whenever anyone calls.  (Very annoying)
I believe it is from Call Waiting, am I right?
If I use *70 to turn that off before dialing out, how do I turn it back on when done?
Thanking you in advance,
Peter
Solved!
Go to Solution.

*70 is for that one call only, not permanently
you must dial it before the call
so change your dialup internet access number to whatever it was before but add *70 before it
i think you may have been hitting *70 and then hanging up and then connecting ... that is not how it works.
... and by the way, i like turtles

  • Internet connection only when making a phone call

    I own a Powerbook G4, I connect to the internet wireless via aiport. I can connect only when making a phone call, my ISP is virgin.net. I've changed the micro-filter. Can any one help me on this problem.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the usefull information, I've contacted BT they are my telephone provider here in the UK, and they did a line test, not a mechanical test as by an engineer, and said the line is OK. My in-comming & out-going calls are fine, but with interference on the line. How did you get past this problem?

    My Nokia 5800 is freezing when I get a call or SMS with charger and USB cable (Media transfer mode) both are connected.
    I need to remove the battery to resume from the freeze.
    Similar kind of freeze occur when I was transferring the music in Media transfer format.
    There were many such instance, like video residue on the video player pallet when rotating the video player and other stuff which are very annoying.
    Could anyone let me know, when does we can have a new firmware with all this issues resolved.
    Also after updating firmware can we take 1hr video and can have all the preloaded songs.

  • When I get an call the phone switches automatically to speaker phone when I pick up the call

    When I get an call the phone switches automatically to speaker phone when I pick up the call.
    I then have to press the handset button to get out of the speaker phone mode.
    How do I set it to goto the handset automatically.
    I have the most up-to date software and I have pulled that battery.

    That's just what happens when you do a battery pull. If your phone is turned OFF, the cache is not accessible. As you're probably aware, anytime any electronic device is acting up (PC, printer, modem, etc.), unplugging it will correct many issues; it's the same with your phone.
    I can't offer a really technical explanation, just trust me on this one and remove your battery while your phone is ON.

  • I have 1 apple id, 2 5S iPhones with separates numbers and both ring when I get a call on one of the numbers. How do I switch that of ?

    I have 1 Apple ID, 2 5S iPhones (1 private/1 work) with separates numbers and both phones ring when I get a call on one of the numbers. How do I switch that of ?

    I realize that my wife could make her own iTunes account; however, she's been using mine for about 2 years now and this hasn't been an issue.  I guess with the Family Sharing she can have access to all of our music and apps now with her own account. 
    I'll have to see if unchecking our emails resolves this issue.

    Caller ID is a carrier feature & the number must match exactly what is entered in your contact listing.

  • Why does facetime hang up when I get another call on call waiting?!?!?

    I love facetime, buy my one complaint is, when I get another call if I am in the middle of a facetime chat, it hangs up the facetime call completely. Just to ask if I want to accept or decline the new call. That's one bug that needs to be addressed.

    no, if another call comes in, it will completely hang up the facetime call, and bring you to the incoming call screen and you can accept or decline. Even if you decline it does not resume the old call. You have to call the person back.

  • When my wife receives a call and her screen is locked she gets two choices. Remind me and answer. When I get a call, I get 3 buttons. Remind me, message and answer. Both are iPhone 4S with ios7.

    When my wife receives a call and her screen is locked she gets two choices. Remind me and answer. When I get a call, I get 3 buttons. Remind me, message and answer. Both are iPhone 4S with ios7. Is there some setting to fix this? I thought the phones were set up identically.
    Thanks.

    Glad it helped. I only remembered it was there because I'd just been checking something else in that screen.
    Best of luck.

  • When i get a call on facetime in my mac when i recieve it an  box will pop up and say facetime quit unexpectedly

    when i get a call on facetime in my mac when i recieve it an  box will pop up and say facetime quit unexpectedly

    I just want to add to this, in case someone else searches for this error on Apple Support (google doesnt cover apple support.. how clever is that?)
    I had the same error. And i had a Computer that had worked, with a SSD drive and 16GB upgrade done by the owner himself.
    I tried swapping with a Mechinal Harddrive, no luck.
    Kept the Mechanical drive in, and tried with some other Ram, it worked..
    So for me this error and after reading the other responses can be boiled down to a Harddrive problem or Ram issue.
    It was Ram for me..

  • Can I stop my iPad ringing when I get a call on my mobile

  • Since last upgrade my phone won't ring when I get a call or text message

    Anyway to get phone to ring when I get a call or message. Since the last upgrade it will only ring occasionally

    Hi BrendaQ,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone does not ring when you receive calls or messages, start with these steps:
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
