Iphone call waiting beep can be heard by other callers!
The call waiting sound comes through the phone line crystal clear, during the coversation, 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! I've been on many calls, even with the headset on, and the other caller hears this tone.
This is very unprofessional sounding when you forward your business phone to your iphone and a 2nd call comes in and the other party hears this beep super loud! All other phones mute this out, so the other party doesn't hear this sound. I don't know this sound is heard by the other party, so loud, they have to look at their phone and get confused.
When on a phone with a client they ask, do you want to get that, or is that your call waiting or mine etc… EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL. Here is what I came up with. It is not a problem with the sim nor the network, but rather the firmware or the phone, some iphones you can faintly hear it some you can definitely hear it, also seems that if it were faint the more apps or the more you use the phone the tone gets louder in due time.
If I put my AT&T sim into another phone not an Iphone the beep is no longer there (I put it in into a nokia n97, n95, sony erricson, tried it with almost every phone I had). I had the AT&T store swap 3 of my sims and the genius bar swap my phone 3 times, now I’m annoyed and would rather use the phone as an Ipod. I even put in a T-Mobile sim and same issue, other person can hear the stupid call waiting beep.
I believe it’s an issue with the firmware, or actual hardware of the iphone 3gs as I don’t recall having this issue when I had the 1st gen phone.
Please someone help!
