Re: Phone engaged due to caller not hanging up
That probably depended on the type of phone you had - Usually when someone rings the "receiver" on a landline and then doesn't hang up - The line will stay connected to the "receiver" even though he or she will have hanged up their phone. It normally stays connected in this way for up to twenty minutes, so long as the receiver doesn't keep picking up the phone to check the line.
It is annoying, if only land lines worked like Mobiles, where anyone can terminate the call without this problem.
