Need to ensure a busy signal

We run a seasonal business with a Toll Free number, and during our off season we've always just had the phone off-hook (to give callers a busy signal) to avoid paying for calls to our TF number (otherwise our bill is too high during a time when we can't sell our seasonal product).
Our local phone company price hikes over the years led to us explore other options and a year ago we settled on MagicJack, which did the same thing for a fraction of the monthly cost - we plugged it into our router and then a phoneset, which we kept off-hook. This worked great until last week, when they started playing a promtional announcement pimping their own service for almost 90 second *prior* to giving the busy signal, which naturally means we now have a bunch of completed calls to our Toll Free number that we have to pay for.......VERY frustrating and not getting anywhere with MJ except the runaround.
I NEED to be sure that if we purchase a Skype Number, and don't activate voicemail and don't log in, that callers to our Skype Number will indeed get a busy signal - this is critical for us......Can someone please verify this for me before we buy a number? We don't mind a small monthly fee for the number, as long as we can be assured of a busy signal during part of the year when we're closed. In case anyone is wondering, we can't "turn off" our Toll Free number or we'll lose it.
Thanks in advance for any responses......

Calling my Skype Number results in busy signal.

I tested my Skype number from my cell phone an my landline, and I get a busy signal each time. I have to do a consulation via Skype, but now I cannot. I just updated my 3-month subscription and my account shows that the number is active. Should I get a new Skype number? I need this to work.

Hi, MarthBee, and welcome to the Community!
Please check this first: in the Windows version of the Skype client software,
Tools -> Options -> Calls -> be sure that Allow calls to my Skype number(s) from... anyone is ticked or checked in -> Save.
Please try your tests again, ensuring that your mobile phone is not already signed on to Skype at the same time.
Regards,
Elaine

iPhone 5S lost voice mail and when I tap vm icon the phone dials voice mail and gets busy signal. No other options show.
started yesterday. No voice mail at all. When I tap the voice mail icon the phone immediately dials some number and that number rings busy. I can't select anything else. Using Virgin mobile/ I am stumped.
I have already tried a soft boot... power and home button....
Help!

Other than changing the SIM card, you don't mention any troubleshooting you did with your phone.
If you haven't already, try the following steps as needed:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Setting.
Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as a new iPhone
IF the last step doesn't fix it, there is a hardware problem and you should make an appt. with an Apple Store Genius Bar. The fact that you haven't dropped the phone by no means rules out hardware issues.

HT204380 I just purchased an iPod for my 4 yr old grandson so that we can FaceTime. I have the ipad2. How do I set up the iPod so that we can FaceTime? The way I have it now shows me on both so it's a busy signal.

You will probably need to create an apple Id for you grandson, so you can call that ID instead of yours.

Apple Modem Busy Signal

I am using a fax program (Pagesender by Smile Software) and run into problems with recognition of a busy signal. It seems they are not being recognized and the program continues to attempt to connect. The support people for Pagesender state that it is the Apple Internal Modem that does not recognize a busy signal and recommend buying an external USB modem. I find it hard to believe that the Apple Modem does not recognize a busy signal. Is this true? If so, is there a fix? Is there a way to test the Apple Modem?

It is more than a busy signal, I think. I am having the same problem - I try to send a fax and something goes wrong, busy signal, no answer, whatever. If I delete the job and try to start over, the modem is reported as unavailable. I downloaded ZTERM to see if I could regress to 1991 and start controlling the modem with stone age Hayes AT commands, but it too reported that the modem port was unavailable.
There are hardware diags on one of the OS disks, but that won't do much good since the modem will work at least once. It takes some sort of software failure in the OS to trigger this condition. That is, the modem is probably fine but the kernel software running it is broken. It disappears at the lowest level - the port disappears - but only after it is used once and fails to connect.
There us no option to hang up the modem in the status icon, and I have not been able to get the modem speaker turned on either. If I can't hear what it is doing it makes it much harder to troubleshoot, but the thing just ignores the settings.
Not to get on the soap box too much, but these rocket surgeons need to stop worrying about what color the next iPod will be and start paying attention to what they are doing in their core business. Having to reboot to get the modem back if a fax number is busy is asinine. I haven't had to do that in Windblows since at least version 3.11, if then. This OS is deteriorating with each new release.
My gut tells me that they just don't care enough about the iMac G5 user base to test their software against that platform. The sound is broken, the modem is broken, the Firewire interface can't capture DVI without corrupting the hard disk, and mine has required six rebuilds just to get Tiger running even this badly. I used to think Macs "just worked" and Windblows "just didn't". Now that relationship is reversing - it is my 64-bit XP that "just works" and my 64-bit OS X that "just doesn't work".

You may need to verify the Privacy settings related to Online Numbers. The Privacy settings are acessible from the Skype program on a computer, but not on the apps for mobile phones and other portable devices. If you just purchased the Online Number, or it has been renewed recently, the setting may have gone back to its default setting (not allowing calls on the Online Number to reach your Skype account). You can change that to allow calls from anywhere to your Online Number.
As for an online chat, depending on which Skype features you have purchase, you could be entitled to a real-time online chat with a support representative. If what I suggested doesn't help resolve the issue, you can contact customer service and continue through the option to refer to this forum. If you are eligible for an online chat, that option will be presented to you. Otherwise, you can post your request and someone will contact you via e-mail.

FXO Trunk Group rings to a busy signal

I have setup a trunk group for my (4) FXO ports. The ports are all setup with "connection plar 2000" since all calls need to route to a parallel huntgroup of which the pilot is 2000. If I cann one of the POTS lines in the group and do not pick it up, the call goes to a busy signal after about 3 rings. I have final destination set to a script. Not sure on why I am getting the busy signal.
If stack up the calls on all phones the hunt group, the nex tell will route to the script just fine and not give a busy signal. Not sure if that gives any clues to my issue or not.
TIA, Jim

I will give it a try. Not sure what you mean about my english. I did see several typos and meant to say:

I have huntgroup final destination set to an auto attendant script. Not sure on why I am getting the busy signal.
If I stack up the calls on all phones the hunt group by calling, answering them, and putting them on hold, the next call beyond the number of phones I ahve in the huntgroup does route to the script just fine and not give a busy signal. Not sure if that gives any clues to my issue or not.

Cisco 7941 busy signal???

Hi,
On cisco 7941 phone I want to achieve this:
When I use phone (calling) and if someone is trying to call me I would like that hi receives busy signal.
What i need to adjust??

Hi Ivan,
If you are using CUCM you would need to go to the DN config
page for your number and change the Busy Trigger to 1.
If you are using CME try "Huntstop Channel"
Cheers!

Busy signal when is not

Hi
Need some help.
I got a Ipnone 5 Iso7 software, been working fine sence update.
But i got a wierd problem:
When i call my Mom & Dad i get a busy signal when there Iphone 4 Iso7, is Not busy.
i call everbody else i have in Contact, no problem
My mom & dad can call me and everboy else they have in there contact.
I have made a full factory restore, did no solve the problem.
Any seduction will be appreciated .
Robin

I read some where that if a contact is blocked, via the new ability in iOS7, that a busy signal is heard. However, I tested this and it didn't seem to be the case for me. I on my end, I heard about 1.5 rings then it went to VM.
So have your parents check to see if they have you blocked in their Contacts.

Fast busy signal with incoming calls and unable to connect to voice mail

We are using CISCO 2821. The system started to have problem connecting to voice mailbox (when dialing internally to the VM extension) and it used to take a reboot to bring it back. Now it will not connect to voice mail (gets fast busy signal), plus incoming calls get a fast busy signal after the first ring tone. To make it worse, the Call Manager Express web page does not load. Does anyone have any idea how to solve the problem? Thanks!

Called ATT...they verified the problem and said it was an intermittent signal problem....
only issue is I have to keep the phone off to make sure I received voicemails....
Definitely NOT an iPhone problem, but an ATT problem.

How may I change the format to enter new contacts? I need to add a business name and would like to change the defaults to work rather than home.

I am entering new contacts into the contact app. I need to add a business name and would like to change the default for phone numbers from home to work. I am entering a large amount of business cards

If you are using one of Lightroom's "date-based" folder templates, then the folders are created in accordance with the image capture date, not the date that you happen to import it. If you specifically want to use the import date for your folder names then you probably don't want to use the Lightroom date template, and instead you'll need to setup your folder names manually.
The vast majority of users that use date-based folder naming schemes will use a standard Lightroom template, i.e. based on the much more meaningful image capture date.

When using FaceTime, my iMac makes noises. It dings like I am receiving an email and sometimes sounds like a busy signal, but this is while I am talking to someone. Any suggestions?

Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
Thanks again..
Harv..

Thanks for your reply. I did this and the events have not been restored. I am clouding between my iPhone and iPad and changed the settings on both devices. Do I need to power on and off?
