Remember that doing this breaks the "logic" of a PBX. There is no way of
knowing that the call on call waiting is for you. It may be for another
party in your house/business.
I too had Bell disable call waiting and instead callfwd/busy to my
Unlimitel line. Both the Bell line and the Unlimitel line go to the same
menu on the PBX so comes in looking like an "n" wide trunk.
Then I bought multi-line phones. Cisco 7960's & Panasonic 2-line
cordless. The other call appears on another line and I can take it,
ignore it, or conference it at will.

Is there a way to enable Call Waiting by default on all extension -

The reason I am asking this is the following:
I have a Bell line connected through a Sipura 3102 and an Atlasvoice
line trunked directly into Asterisk.
I called Bell and asked them to disable the call waiting function and
enable a call forwarding on busy or no answer - to my Atlasvoice line.
It took them 3 weeks and a few tries to get it right, but I think it
is ok now.
