No dial tone yet a busy signal could be an outside wiring problem. You need to use another phone to call customer service of your phone line provider and go through the menu until you reach a live person. I can confuse you further by saying people can set up their phones to provide busy signals but that is such an obscure and unlikely event, something else is doubtlessly going on. About the only other thing you might quickly try is to disconnect your phone and reconnect it. As no information about phone company or type of phone other than land phone, contacting your phone provider is the best I can offer.
Hi Janet
Try using a standard phone to call your Fax Line
Connect a phone to this Line to test for voice
Disconnect Fax Machine from Phone Line
Reset Fax machine
The Fax machine is supposed to respond to the right tones being sent down the voice line
If it is not responding & all else works then check your Fax settings for "Receiving"
What is happening when a call comes in are they getting a busy signal? If so your line is shorted out.. unplug all phones and see if caller hears a ring.. Then 1 at a time plug phones in. Check for a dial tone and press a digit, hang up and check and see if dial tone returns, repeat this on all phones, until you get to the phone that does not give you dial tone back after dialing a digit. That will be your bad phone... If the line was ring busy after all phones unplugged, call repair service..
The dial may be defective and when you dial it is putting out erronous tones. When the Phone Company heres digits that do not correspond to a legal phone number it will give you a error tone or busy tone. It could be the phone got put on pulse and the line won't recognize the pulses
That sound is notification of voice mail. This phone does not disconnect incoming calls on answering machine extension so your phone is actually off the hook for hours without your knowledge.
