 Busy Signal (h2so4)
The “new and improved” busy signal is not much of a signal, really: one BLAAT of a tone, followed by a woman’s nasal, somewhat exasperated-sounding voice, informing me that the number is busy (thanks!), but that for 95 cents, repeat dialing will call me back when the line is free.
I think the busy signal is a good thing; in fact, I always kind of like it when I get a busy signal, rare as it is. It means “I’m busy.” It really isn’t necessary to do many things at once all the time.
It tries to take the grace of the busy signal as I see it and make it into another version of voice mail or call waiting, saying “There is no need to call back later.

 International Telephone Ring-Back Signaling Reference   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Ring-back signal is used in Public Switched Telephone Networks to indicate to the caller that the called number is not busy, and that the line is being "rung" or signaled that an incoming call is present.
In most cases, the ring-back signal has the same cadence as the ring generators used in that country, but the ring-back and ring generators are usually not synchronized with one another.
As with most telephone signaling standards, countries that used to be colonies or protectorates during at least part of the twentith century tend to have telephone signaling similar, if not identical to the parent country.

 The FADER Magazine - Sound Di Big Ting Dem
In reggae business, false promotion is often the sincerest form of flattery.
On that score, the name Busy Signal deserves high praise indeed, as it appears everywhere from misprinted labels on other artist’s 45s to vanloads of flyers for stage-shows at which he’s guaranteed to not perform.
