Cox doesn't do a good job of updating informational websites.  But, since you only want to use a phone for Voice Tools access, it would have been easy to see *38 doesn't work.  When you press either *37 or *38, you hear the following:

An email to Cox verified Call Waiting may only be turned OFF from the website.
