The load on mobile operator networks increases every year, resulting in various communication problems. Even now in places with good signal reception it is not always possible to get through. In addition, there are many other factors that can interfere with communication. We will discuss one of these situations further. The subscriber's phone is constantly busy - what does this mean and what are the reasons? We will consider general points that apply to all operators (MTS, Beeline, Tele2, Megafon).
The subscriber's phone is constantly busy
Why is he doing this about the blacklist?
The favorite option of a number of subscribers is “Black List”. But it was not there. If you absolutely need to get through to a person, you can “go around the mountain” and avoid restrictions. Follow the instructions:
- Write an SMS and ask to be removed from the emergency situation. Turn on message delivery notifications in advance.
- Check if you are in an emergency by calling from another number. If the person decides to answer you, you can find out whether you fell out of favor by accident or on purpose.
- 21st century, guys! We use Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram, Skype - organize a regular or video call. Online regulars can write or send an audio message even via Instagram direct (if you haven’t been banned there either).
The only thing that cannot be bypassed is the “Flight” or “Do Not Disturb” mode, which turns off all incoming messages and SMS.
And if you need to convey important information
The phrase “The subscriber is currently unable to answer your call”
A network answering machine usually speaks when a subscriber is not online, but his number is connected to a voice answering machine.
As a rule, after this phrase it is said: “After a long beep, you can leave a voice message
,” and a beep is heard. As soon as there is silence, you can speak your message to the answering machine - it will be automatically recorded and saved on the telecom operator’s server.
When your friend turns on his phone, he will receive an SMS from the mobile operator saying that there is a voice message for him that can be listened to by calling such and such a number. This is the most convenient way to convey important information. By calling the answering machine number, he will listen to your message and will definitely contact you.
Phone breakdown or SIM card failure
When, after a beep, they say that the subscriber is busy, it is possible that his phone has “played the box.” This means that the user has dropped, wet, or otherwise damaged their device. It is impossible to completely protect and secure the device from this, so first find out the reason why you are constantly unable to get through by phone, and then make a claim. By the way, your phone is also not “iron” (even if it is) and the problem may be with you - try calling someone else. If you can’t get through to anyone, contact the service for repairs.
So, if you have heard more than one short beep and were unable to call where you need to, there are plenty of options for solving this problem. Choose yours. If for the same reason you do not accept incoming messages, you will have to contact the operator or repairmen.
Trite, but real: the subscriber is having a conversation with another
The first and main reason is that the line is busy because the person is talking with someone else. But such a development of events is possible if he has an antediluvian push-button telephone. Why? If you know all the functionality of a smartphone, then you know about its multi-channel nature. The call on the other line can be accepted or rejected, or you can simply ignore it, so long beeps will continue if you are calling on a smartphone.
Another option is that a person has 2 SIM cards and has turned off calls when talking from another card. And you call just the first one. Wait a certain time and call back.
Reasons why a subscriber cannot answer a call
Your friend's phone suddenly died and there is no way to charge it. Perhaps he is on the road or, for example, in a cinema. It is possible that your friend went down to the underground parking for a while or went to the store located in the basement of the building. After some time, he may well appear in touch without even noticing that he was missing “from the air.” Perhaps your friend went out of town and found himself in an area of poor reception or where there is no telephone coverage at all. Remember, maybe he has elderly relatives living in the countryside, or his work requires frequent trips out of town. Maybe he went on vacation abroad? In this case, the switched-on SIM card of the Russian operator will lead to serious expenses, so, most likely, he either turned off his phone during the vacation or uses a different SIM card. Sometimes situations arise when circumstances require turning off the phone
For example, your friend is sitting at an important meeting where everyone is required to turn off their phones, or he got sick, took some medicine and went to bed. After some time, the connection will be restored - you just need to be a little patient. The most unpleasant case
They don’t want to communicate with you, so your phone is blacklisted. It is very simple to check this: you need to call this person from another number that is unknown to him or is not associated with your identity.
No money
Please note right away that this statement can be pronounced in almost any situation. And the first thing you might think is that the user does not have enough funds on his phone. The one we're calling. Such cases occur especially often with subscribers in roaming. After all, they pay for incoming calls.
Did you hear the answer: “This type of communication is not available for MTS subscribers”? Wait a while and notify your friend about this phenomenon. Let him replenish the account balance on the SIM card. After this, you can resume the call attempt. Practice shows that after paying any fee, the connection is restored and operates as usual.
The subscriber's phone is temporarily unavailable, what does this mean?
What does the phrase mean: “The subscriber’s phone is temporarily unavailable, call back later,” which we sometimes hear when trying to reach a certain person? And why does he give it away?
The reason is that the mobile network of the subscriber's phone operator is not available at the time of the call. This can be found in all Russian operators: MTS, Beeline, Megafon, Tele2. In turn, there are several reasons why this can happen:
- Poor or no connection
. If you call a person whose phone is turned on and it displays the message: “The subscriber’s phone is temporarily unavailable, call back later,” then the reason may be a poor connection or its absence. This can happen if the subscriber is far from a populated area and from the location of the operator’s towers. You can also encounter a similar phenomenon in places where something interferes with signal reception: in the subway, basements, elevators. From personal experience I know that a bad connection can occur even in an apartment. My previous mobile operator Tele2 had no connection when I entered my apartment in Krasnodar. And she only appeared if she held the phone to the window. Moreover, this phenomenon was constant. You can often encounter the problem of not being able to reach a subscriber on holidays, when the operator’s mobile networks are heavily overloaded. - The phone is turned off
. Also, the message: “The subscriber’s phone is temporarily unavailable, call back later” may appear if the person’s phone is turned off. The reasons could be either a person turning off the phone on their own, or the fact that the phone could simply be dead. - There is a problem with the phone
. One of the common reasons why it displays the message “The subscriber’s phone is temporarily unavailable, call back later” is a malfunction of the mobile phone. This can be either a simple glitch, which can be fixed by simply rebooting the phone, or a very serious problem, which is simply impossible to fix without contacting a service center. - Incorrectly installed SIM card
. This can happen if the SIM card is installed incorrectly, or has moved out of the SIM card slot.
The only thing you can do in such a situation is to follow the advice and call later.
I hope the article “call back later : what does it mean, what to do
"was useful to you.
Cellular communications are gaining momentum, and few can imagine life without it. However, the hype brings “side effects” in the form of problems with communication and overload of operators. If you are trying to call a friend, acquaintance or family member, but the robot constantly exclaims, this article is for you!
Why is iPhone always busy?
The “Do Not Disturb” function is enabled on the subscriber’s device
The Do Not Disturb feature makes the iPhone unavailable for calls from any number, but it can be activated and disabled automatically at a specified time (for example, at night), a detailed guide on setting the mode can be found here. When Do Not Disturb mode is active (an icon with a picture of the month appears in the status bar), the iPhone also answers incoming calls with short busy beeps.
Of course, there is always the possibility of missing a really important call, for example, from family and friends. To avoid such situations, you can make an exception for certain subscribers and allow them to dial on an iPhone that is in Do Not Disturb mode. To do this, you need to perform two operations:
1. On the page of the desired subscriber in the Contacts application, click “Add to Favorites”;
2. Go to Settings → Do not disturb → Call Allowance and check the box next to “From favorites”.
Why is it “busy” only on the first call on iPhone?
Another option that, in theory, allows you not to miss an important call in Do Not Disturb mode is called “Repeat calls”; you can enable it in the same menu Settings → Do Not Disturb (see screenshot above). In active mode, the function skips a call to the iPhone if this is the second attempt to call in the last three minutes.
Your number is blocked (blacklisted by the subscriber)
Blocking subscribers using the “Black List” is easy and quick (detailed instructions for working with this function can be found here and here), while the marked contacts from the address book will not be able to reach the user’s iPhone
, immediately after the call,
short busy beeps will sound
. Thus, the “Black List” allows you to solve the problem with specific subscribers, messages and calls from whom you want to completely ignore.

Cellular communications are gaining momentum, and few can imagine life without it. However, the hype brings “side effects” in the form of problems with communication and overload of operators. If you are trying to call a friend, acquaintance or family member, but the robot constantly exclaims, this article is for you!
Blocking
There is another option why this type of communication is not available to MTS subscribers. For example, sometimes this message is spoken when calling a blocked number. It doesn’t matter whether it was done voluntarily or not - the fact remains a fact. There will be no talk of any blocking or insufficient funds in the account.
Why does this happen? Nobody can answer this. The MTS company calls this phenomenon a feature of the network. After all, all messages are spoken in a robotic voice automatically. And sometimes, instead of information about the reason for the blocking, it is simply reported that this type of communication is not available to the subscriber. Only unlocking the number can help here. Either voluntary (if your friend blocked him himself), or forced - carried out when replenishing the account on the phone to a positive one. In any case, take this feature into account.
The technical error
As the number of mobile operators grows, unfortunately, it is not so much the quality of coverage and communication that grows, but the number of various failures. Moreover, this applies even to the most famous operators, such as MTS, Beeline and others.
Most often, such large-scale failures occur during the New Year holidays, when subscribers rush to congratulate loved ones with a glass of champagne and fireworks. This happens simultaneously, so the networks cannot withstand such a load.
Not all operators report that the network is overloaded, so it may appear that the number is busy or the call was dropped. What to do? You can try to call all the time until you can get through.
The subscriber's phone is busy due to the blacklist
Another reason for the inability to get through is adding to the “Black List”
". The procedure is carried out both in the phone settings and at the mobile operator level. Many operators have this option - Beeline, MTS, Megafon, Tele2, etc.
from Beeline operator
Have you found yourself in such a situation? There are several options to “bypass” the restrictions:
- Try sending a regular SMS, asking the subscriber to remove you from the blacklist. Before doing this, it is recommended to enable SMS delivery notifications.
- Just call from another number - if the call goes through like this, you are on the Black List. True, there is a chance to solve everything if a person picks up the phone and wants to talk to you.
- Use alternative communication methods - Viber, WhatsApp or Telegram provide audio and video calls.
It's also worth briefly mentioning Do Not Disturb
(on an airplane, standalone) - it completely disables the possibility of incoming calls and SMS. There is no way around this option.
What is the reason
Technical failures are excluded, but they cannot occur within one call. If the bot says that the device is busy, although it is not, and does it too often, the reasons need to be looked deeper. Let's consider all the options.
Forwarding enabled
The call forwarding option is in high demand - subscribers connect the free service to their number and make various settings. Tele2 allows you to activate call forwarding when there is no answer or if the line is busy. Personally, the subscriber does not always turn it on - there are cases where the option is automatically assigned to a voicemail number after activating voicemail services or “who called?” Then, when you call, the bot “picks up” the phone and invites the person on the other end of the line to leave a message.
In some tariffs, the forwarding service is enabled by default. If, when dialing a subscriber, a message that he is busy constantly pops up, try contacting him in other ways or check the forwarding activity. This can be done easily in your personal account or through your support manager over the phone. To set up targeted disconnections and adjust types of forwarding, each operator has ussd commands. First, you should reboot your device - this may work. If it doesn't help, move on to other actions.
The wrong network type is set
Recently, a situation has often arisen in which incoming messages are blocked on new smartphones due to the wrong network type and poor-quality connection. For example, the phone is set to 4G priority type, but the SIM card or tower cannot handle it. In this case, playing short helps. That is, the owner of the problematic device needs to open his settings and change the pre-installed 4G (LTE, VoLTE) to 3G, and if that doesn’t help, then switch from 3G to 2G.
- Changing the network type on Android is done quite standardly: go to “Settings” → “Mobile networks” → “Network type”. Next, change the network specified there. By the way, on some devices the network type can be reconfigured in the SIM card menu.
Try lowering the quality from 4G to 3G
- In the case of an iPhone, you need to go to: “Settings” → “Cellular” → “Data Options” → “Voice & Data”. Keep in mind that instead of 4G there may be LTE or VoLTE.
Try contacting the subscriber in other ways and offer to change the network settings - it helps very often. You can contact via the now popular Viber or WhatsApp, try sending SMS, you can send instructions by e-mail.

The subscriber's phone is constantly busy - what does this mean and what are the reasons? We will consider general points that apply to all operators (MTS, Beeline, Tele2, Megafon).
Operator service
Among the offers from mobile network providers there is a large selection of similar services. They can operate at a certain time or continuously. The essence of such services is that after connection, the subscriber is not disturbed at inconvenient/non-working hours. For residents of modern megacities, work calls are a real problem that prevents them from enjoying relaxation and communication with family. Actually, that’s why it’s connected.
All telecom operators offer
It’s worth mentioning separately that many operators (MTS, Beeline, Tele2, Megafon) allow you to connect it and block the call at your level. If they can’t get through to you, then the first thing you need to do is call the operator and find out if there are any subscriptions or services that could do this.
Blacklist and Do Not Disturb mode
Modern devices are capable of emulating any action. A properly configured Black List completely excludes unwanted incoming messages and more.
What can be done to bypass it?
- Send SMS. Enable receiving a delivery report, and in the text of the message itself, ask the subscriber to remove the number from the list.
- Call from someone else's number. If calls do not go through from your phone, but do from another, then there is a high probability of being included in
- Use alternative communication channels: Viber, Skype, WhatsApp. You can write a message, make a voice call or video call.
We should also talk about setting up the Black List. Its flexibility depends on the specific model and manufacturer. Many manufacturers include a really large list of features in their products. For example, you can set up groups, allow incoming calls from phone book numbers, block calls from specific subscribers or groups at certain times, and much more. Even the arrival of SMS can be turned off. Smartphones can signal “busy”, “subscriber unavailable”, and the device can also pick up and hang up. And much more.
There are modes in the phone settings. Each of them has its own operating scenarios. In particular, when you select the “Do Not Disturb” option, incoming calls may not go through, giving the caller a “busy” or “subscriber unavailable” message, or they may go through, but without signals.
Often, phone owners do not know about activating these functions, or they are turned on, for example, by children. It is recommended to check the network settings, Black list, actions for groups, settings for specific subscribers and operating modes.
Let's sum it up
Now you understand why the subscriber's line can be constantly busy. If you need to contact a person, then alternative communication channels or a personal meeting will help in such situations. If this is your phone and it does not accept incoming messages, then the list of actions is much wider. You will have to spend time, but establishing the cause is quite simple.
Probably everyone has encountered the fact that during a call the message “network busy” appears on the phone. At the same time, the call is simply dropped, there are no beeps even. In fact, this literally means that the network is overloaded and therefore your call cannot be processed right now. There can be many reasons for this. When you make a call, the signal from your mobile goes through the chain, first to the mobile substation, then to the cellular station, back to another substation and to the mobile of the called subscriber. If the subscriber accepts the call, a connection is made on digital frequencies. During the pickup, the PBX begins searching for your subscriber, and if one is not found (for example, the phone is disconnected or the subscriber is talking to someone), a refusal is returned to you. Typically, one substation supports a certain number of connections (maximum), and if their number has reached the limit, you will receive a “network busy” message. This means that the signal from your phone was unable to reach the PBX.
