iPhone & Verizon - Call over Internet? How to avoid the call waiting beep?

[TheNinja]

So is there ANY way to avoid it when I'm on the phone and someone else calls in that THEY hear the stupid beep? It's really annoying b/c people know when I'm on a call and expect me to call them right back.

Can I?
1. Disable that beep somehow by calling Verizon? (The cust. service rep told me no)
2. Can I use the Internet or some APP to call the other person so that it will just appear to the person calling me that I"m not on the phone but rather I'm on the Internet?

According to Verizon(on their web site, ) dial *70 before making a call

That rep was wrong, at least as how I understand it. If you search around the net, it seems some people have success getting it shut off and some don't. Keep calling and get the call escalated until you get someone that knows what is going on and has the power to turn off the feature.
