Call Waiting Tone

I hate this problem and I'll tell you why and when it started. First it has nothing to do with a headset. I had the 2g, never a problem, I had the 3g not a problem UNTIL the release of the 3.0 software. Immediately I noticed a problem. This carried over to my 3gs as well. I'm fuzzy on the details but I believe that's true. If 3.0 was released on the 2g it's when that update happened. If not then it's exactly like I said it. Like others I called ATT and through testing saw that at first it was only iPhone to iPhone calls. Now it seems like any calls I get are so loud of a tone for me and whoever I'm talking to. And if I'm talking to someone with an iPhone I hear theirs. Why does this suck? I'm on the phone with the girl I'm dating and my ex is calling me like a maniac so the girl I'm dating asks "who's blowing up your phone" that's just one example. This may be ok for some people who don't mind but I DO and no real answer from apple. It's clearly an issue after the 3.0 update because on my 2g or 3g running the old 2.0.1 software this NEVER happened. If I didn't love my iPhone I'd switch the the **** Droid just because of this annoying feature. I don't see after so long why this isn't fixed yet. It needs to be. It's embarrasing and never worked like this before ans call waiting was designed to be a tone for the person getting the call ONLY when the **** has Apple gotten the right to dictate how that changes. I'm tired of people saying to me "God do you just wanna answer that" FIX THIS PLEASE!!!

I have three iphones, my moms, mine and my boyfriend. We all expereince this although it's not a problem for us because it gives us the signal to shut up and let the person you're talking to take the call. However, my iphone's water sensor tripped during the superbowl and apple had to give me a "brand new" replacement phone which came out of what looked like a refurb shipment box, now both my mom and boyfriend still can hear me getting incoming calls where as to I can't hear them getting incoming calls and as for me, sometimes I get just ONE single beep for incoming call or none at all not even letting me know that I have an incoming call. nor can I hear them getting in coming calls it just sounds like they get cruddy reception and as they're talking or as I'm talking we get cut in and out only receiving part of the conversation.

I have been through two iPhone 3GS's and both have this same call-waiting beep issue. I have also purchased a new Jawbone Prime to replace my Jawbone 2 and both have the same call-waiting beep issue.

The Jawbone 2 did not have the problem with my old Motorola phone, but the replacement iPhone seems to indicate the problem is not unique to a telephone but to the firmware's compatability with the Jawbone.

If, during a call, I unpair the Jawbone, reset the Jawbone, and re-pair the Jawbone, the beep is no longer a problem for the duration of that call. As soon, however, as you make a new call, the beep is back and the three step, cumbersome sequence must be repeated again.

I hope Apple is working on this as it seems to be in their OS.

there is nothing to do with the AT&T network. I use T-Mobile and have the same problem. Also many iPhones have a ringing problem. It takes 5-10 seconds after the call has been made, before it starts ringing

Have you guys been reporting this bug to apple via their website???

This is the only phone that does this! The call waiting sound comes through the phone line crystal clear and the other person on the other end hears it, not only do they hear it a little, they think it's their call waiting!

Why did apple do this! This is very unprofessional sounding when you forward you business phone to your iphone and a 2nd call comes in and the other party hears this beep super loud!

****, you are right! But callers don't hear it anymore if you aren't using a headset. But you are right, I just tested it with my bluetooth headset and apple headphones, and the person on the other line hears my call waiting beep.

That's odd. I haven't experienced this with 3.0.

I am having the same problem. It's really embarassing. I wish there was a solution.

Yeah I am too, its a nightmare.

I am having the same issue. I thought it was my jawbone but maybe it is the phone. Any resolution to this yet?

Well I'm fighting for a replacement then, my business partner has same phone and doesn't have the issue.

With 3 different iPhones (2G, 3G, & 3GS), currently running 3.1.2, I've never experienced this.

@raficab. Did you hear back from apple on the call waiting tone issue?

I don't have this problem on my 3GS either. However, the 3rd party can hear a tone if the party on-hold is disconnected. This is a privacy concern to me.
