Salam,

Is there a way to DISABLE call waiting? Is it enabled by default? When I am on the phone, I want the other caller to get a busy tone, and I don't want call waiting. I want this on a permanent basis. Do I have to request it by calling support? Can I do it directly on my SPA3102? Please advise. Thanks!

You can disable call waiting temporarily or permanently on any of the ATA’s manufactured by Linksys by using start codes; I posted this information at BrainTEL hidden and archived forums long time ago:

Star Code to Activate/Deactivate Certain Services:
This is list of start codes that are accessible on all Sipura/Linksys models; the default star code is in parenthesis. If a number needs to be assigned after the code it must be entered quickly after getting the tone after star code and "#" can be used at the end. (i.e. assigning a speed dial for number “2” press “*74” there will be tone, press “2” then numbers you want to assign to it)
(I feel sad for people using other makes and models of ATA’s)
(*69) Call the last called number
(*66) periodically redials the last busy number (every 30s by default) until it rings or until the trial expires (30 min by default). Only 1 call back operation can be ordered at a time. A new order will automatically cancel the last order.
(*86) Cancel the last call back operation
(*72) Forward all inbound calls to the target specified after the activation
code
(*73) Cancel call forwarding
