Hello Joanne ...
Without actually knowing if you are USA (domestic)..
POTs (plain old telephone Service, VoIP (packet switched telephone)... or cellular... and what actual platforms maybe
serving your phone (phones?)...
It is difficult to say...
>> First suggestion...
Cancel all "call forwarding"... (Dial " *73 ")
called "star, 7, 3"
((Custom Calling Feature - Bell System: USA))
What you are getting COULD be achieved
by forwarding a like to an actual BUSY LINE
Once upon a time... "busy signal" was 60 IPM tone
(interruptions per minute)... "RE-ORDER" (known as
"FAST BUSY" would indicate a network malady..
Typically NETWORK CONGESTION... (120 IPM).
But I seriously doubt that is your issue...
Don A seems to think/discuss ... (never-mind)
I suspect you have somehow looped call forwarding...
>> Second suggestion ... When I was a younger...
ALL the way to OLD AGE... Telephone complaints
were phoned in by calling SIX-One-One (611)...
Numerous (humor) reasons abound at the
CENTRAL Office... from shabby software management...
to a NON-PAID DISCONNECT...
Doubtless they are approaching perfection...
(by themselves as "DON A" contends (autonomously))...
but I tend to believe FEEDBACK can only HELP
the process improvement.
in my opinion

For purposes of discussion, lets say you are the caller. The "busy" signal may be a "reorder" signal. A reorder signal indicates that that the network inbetween your network and the recipient's network (or just the recipient's network) can not "find" a route back to your network. If you had received a busy signal, you reached the recipient's network but the recipient was on another call. If the problem is a "trunk" failure, the solution is beyond your reach. If it is a line failure, a call to the phone compan
This may be a "reorder" signal rather than a busy signal. It indicates a failure to connect with an intervening network or the recipient's network. That means no "beep" is ever heard by the prospective recipient to indicate he may have a call coming in (if he is already talking to another caller). Such failures may have a number of causes. If it involves a line failure, a call to your provider may get the issue addressed. If it is a trunk failure, that is likely beyond your reach and only the mysterious powers that be deep within the industry will get around to dealing with it in their own good time, whether you call or not.

SOURCE: Caller ID does not work
I FIXED IT!!! YIPEEE!!
What I did was UNPLUG the base's power unit from the wall... waiting about one minute, and plugged it back in. That caused it to "reboot" the entire system, and the CID now shows itself.
SOURCE: No issue, just a question.
ANY phone system will have this problem.
If 5 people call in, the first 4 will be answered, but the 5th will get busy, as there are no lines available into your phones voicemail system.
IF, you have voicemail through the phone company, you can get their voicemail feature for extra.
THEN, if 5 people call in, the first 4 go to the phones, and the fifth gets the voicemail greeting.
It would be dependant on the line provider how many calls their voicemail would handle at one time. SO if 500 people call in, 4 get through, and MAYBE 5 go to voicemail, the rest get busy.....

I was having the same problem...no caller ID. Then I looked up the phone on the RCA site:
http://www.rca4business.com/products/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=22&idproduct=11
Turns out there is no called ID on this model =(
SOURCE: callers get busy signal, all 3 phones say
Possible causes:
1. Another phone is off-hook besides these 3.
2. Bad house wiring - call the phone company.
3. Bad wiring somewhere between your house and the Central Office - call the phone company.
