Do you ever find it annoying to call someone when the phone says the user is busy, only to call them moments later and get through? Well, if you do, count me in as well. It has happened too many times for me to count, so I wanted to know what “User Busy” actually meant and if the line is busy when I get the alert. To find out more about this, I went to Apple’s support pages as well as user forums. This guide should help you understand what “User Busy” on your iPhone means, thanks to the thorough research that I have done. The “User Busy” message that you see when you call someone on your iPhone means that the person you are trying to get a hold of is currently in another call. The best thing for you to do would be to wait. What Does the “User Busy” Message Mean? Whenever you make a call and see “User Busy” on the screen during the call, it means that the person you are trying to talk with is currently engaged in another conversation on his phone. Because of the way phones work, getting multiple people on a call is only possible if someone calls you. Priority is given to the call that is happening now, and the lines will be ready to receive calls after it is hung up. Why am I getting the “User Busy” Message on my iPhone?You might be getting the message on your phone because the person on the other line is on another call. Sometimes you can run into a “User Busy” message due to some network issue, but this rarely happens. If the person you are trying to call is using a phone with an alert slider, like the iPhone or a OnePlus phone, it can happen if they have turned the alert slider to silent. But nine times out of ten, the reason you get the busy message would be because the person is on another call. Confirm that the Recipient is Actually BusyBefore you give up trying to get through, you can try confirming if the recipient of the call is actually busy on another call. You can try texting them and waiting to see if they have read the message. If they reply, you can confirm that they weren’t on a call and try getting back to them. Alternatively, you can ask them to call you back with a text message if you manage to reach them via text. Calling After Waiting an Appropriate Interval of TimeIf you managed to confirm that the person on the other side is on a call, the best thing you can do is to wait. After trying to get through and running into a “User Busy” message, wait for a few minutes before trying again. Keep up this cycle of waiting and trying several times again until you get through and connect. Or you could just text them to let them know you have been trying to call them for a while. Set Up a “User Busy” Message for yourselfIf you ever feel the need to show the “User Busy” message to someone else when they try to call you, you can do it quite easily. You can do this by turning on Do Not Disturb on your iPhone. To do this on iOS 15:
You can also turn it on from the Control Center by opening it and going to Focus. You can then turn on Do Not Disturb from there. For iOS 14 and older:
You can also do this from the Control Center by choosing the crescent moon icon in the panel. Final ThoughtsIf calling or texting didn’t give you a response, and if you are desperate to get through, you can leave a voice mail even without calling the person. Some cellular providers have provisions and features that let you leave messages without calling, and if you share the same provider with the person you are trying to call, try those services out. If you have a Spectrum Landline account and want to block calls or appear busy as you did with your iPhone, you can set up Spectrum’s Call Guard service.
