WHAT DOES ENGAGED TONE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Busy signal

A busy signal in telephony is an audible or visual signal to the calling party that indicates failure to complete the requested connection of that particular telephone call. There are several distinctly different types of busy signals: ▪ a reorder tone,, indicates that no transmission path to the called number is available. It is often played after a recording describing a telephone problem ▪ an otherwise unspecified busy signal indicates that the called number is occupied: the number is calling out, someone else has called the number or is calling the number at the same time, the other line was left off-hook, or it is otherwise unavailable ▪ a tone—sometimes with an intercept message played over the busy—at the end of a call to indicate the other party has hung up. Countries have different signaling tones that act as busy signals, in most cases consisting of a tone with equal on/off periods at a rate of between 60 and 120 interruptions per minute. In North America, the Precise Tone Plan used today employs two tones of 480 and 620 Hz at 60 i.p.m..
