Call waiting; one of those convenient phone services that was introduced decades ago on land lines. It lets you answer an incoming call while you’re currently on another call. It can be a handy feature so that you can take calls without your line being tied up.
However, call waiting can also be a nuisance. If you’re already on an important call and don’t want to be bothered with others trying to reach you, you may not want this feature enabled. So, here’s how to turn off Call Waiting on iPhone.

Turning off the Call Waiting feature on your iPhone is very easy, just follow these steps.
