Call waiting won't turn off / disable

Hi team

I am unable to permanently disable call waiting. Every time I try, I find it has reactivated the following day.

A few quick points:

  • By call waiting, I mean the phone alerts me to an incoming call, when I'm already in a call
  • What I want to happen - when I'm on a call, any incoming calls go to my voicemail
  • I have tried disabling using both #43# and using Phone app settings (Phone app > Settings > Additional Settings > Call waiting). Both get re-enabled by the following day
  • In the Phone app settings, I have call forwarding to my voicemail (121) enabled when Busy, When Unanswered, When Unreachable. It is obviously not working when busy.

I've spoken to Vodafone numerous times on the issue - they were unable to help.

 

I believe it is a Vodafone issue, as it has been reported several times before with no fix:

Example 1 

Example 2 

Example 3 

 

Please can somebody help? Is there some setting on my account causing this?

 

My phone Is a OnePlus 5 running Android 10.

 

Many thanks!

It seems like you have carried out most of the self help generic troubleshooting tips @stooch 

Bit of a long shot but what happens if you insert your sim card into another phone if you can ?

If cancelling all diverts via  How-do-I-manage-call-diverts …   (  Call ##002# to cancel all active call diverts.  ) does not help then see if the Vodafone Social Media Team's on Twitter or Facebook can help. They can't here as account access isn't available via this forum.

Thanks.for your help.

 

I don't have a spare phone unfortunately but will see if I can find one and try.
