If you are trying to get through to someone on the phone, if you stay on the busy signal...?

Question

If you are trying to get through to someone on the phone and you keep getting a busy signal, if you call and stay on the busy signal for a while, will you eventually get over? Or should I just call back later?

Answer 1

If you leave the phone on busy for a long time it starts to ring and a recorded message comes on that says if you would like to make a call please hang up and try again if you need help please dial your operator....  It never clicks over to the person you are trying to reach.  There is a service offered by the phone companies that they will continue to ring that person and then call you when they are available.  There is a fee for that

Answer 2

I use 'Busy Redial' (part of my phone package.) If a number is busy, and I want to reach someone, I just hang up, pick up again, and dial *66 and hang up. It will notify me when the line is available, with 2 short rings. Then, when I pick up the phone, it will dial it for me. It works for 30 minutes. It can also be cancelled by dialing *86 Staying on a busy signal will not work..

Answer 3

call back later. must be real important huh? they busy signal never goes away. sorri
