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.....

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.

When I call another extension it has a busy signal but rings to the other phone how can I fix this?

Perhaps it isn't a busy signal, but a ringing signal. If it rings, you have no problem. If it is a PBX Machine. Cut the power to the main control box for 2 minutes to reset.

Please include make and model in all Fixya questions. Thanks.

Why made phone early now cant just get busy signals?

Sounds like your phone or line is now short circuit and is holding the line so it appears busy to incoming callers. Try disconnecting the pnone and line right up to the incoming point of your house to find the problem.

Nortel startalk one of my extensions keeps getting calls and when answered there is just a busy signal on the other end. What is causing this?

If answering live call and is busy signal on the other end then could be a recording from far end....call a tech in.

If voice mail message is busy signal it could be same as above or Disconnect Supervsision is not programmed on the lines and with the carrier.....this detects when caller hangs up then system knows to hang up, if does not hangup then you get busy signal.

No caller ID. TP company says I have service.

  • Did you fully charge your phone? - Make sure you fully charge for 16-24 hours .

  • Is the battery old? - Replace the battery.

  • Is the electrical outlet switch turned on? - If you are using AC (electrical) power, make sure that the unit is connected to a non-switched electrical outlet.

  • Are the connecting wires tight - Unplug the AC power converter from the unit and plug it back in.

  • Do you have Caller ID service with your telephone company - In order to receive Caller ID records, you must subscribe to the standard name and number Caller ID service available through your local telephone company. If the Caller ID works for normal calls but not on Call waiting calls, then you must contact your phone company to get the combined CID/CW service.

  • Caller ID shows up after second ring - Be sure to wait until the second ring before answering. Caller ID signals comes through after the first ring, if caller pick ups phone too soon Caller ID signal will not be transmitted to the handset.

  • Confirm that caller ID is still working on that particular line by checking another phone on the same line - If Caller ID is not coming through contact your phone company provider.

If this does not fix your problem, contact your authorized Service Center.*

Disabled phone line

Sounds like the answering machine is picking up the telephone line and not releasing it.

Hence the busy signal, cause the answering machine has the line off hook. It's like leaving your telephone off hook, the next caller will get a busy signal...

The answering machine might be bad... have you noticed that you were talking on the phone and hung up then the next call would be the busy signal? Maybe test this out.
Do you have the correct voltage to the answering machine, too much power or too little power can do funny things to telephone equipement.
