Has anyone noticed a loud glitchy beep when someone calls-in and your on the phone (i.e. call waiting beep)?
My experience when someone calls and triggers call-waiting has been a first very loud and glitchy beep, and it sounds as if the line is about drop the call. I lose contact with the caller, for what seems a little too long (I have to actually stop talking and let it finish its thing. I nearly lost my train of thought a couple times and it gets annoying after a while). The other consecutive beeps seem nice quick and tolerable however.
yes, I've noticed this. Sometimes worse than other times, and when I connect to the second caller, problems like crossed lines occur, where I go back to the first call and end up with 3-way conference calling!
This doesn't happen much, although I don't have my call waiting ring very often either.

That squealing sound is the call display data for the incoming call.
I've noticed the level of intrusiveness of this glitch seems to be dependent on the type of phone (panasonic, GE, old un-powered phone). However, it is generally more annoying since I have Vonage than the same feature with other systems (cell, land-line).
I wonder whether it is related to Vonage's implementation of the feature or the phone adapter/router hardware.
Has anyone not noticed this glitch? (as compared with previous experience with other systems such as cell phone and land-line service)
