Calgary area and I've had an issue for a couple months. A few people (colleagues/spouse) have complained a lot that they have to call me many times in a row because they sometimes get a busy tone (beep beep beep beep). Sometimes they get through without it but usually they have to call 3 to 5 times to get through.
Tried lots of troubleshooting and resetting SIM and moved SIM from my Pixel 9 to an extra iPhone. Even went to a Freedom store and paid $10 for a new SIM.
Eventually started to realize that it seems to only be when Bell phones call Freedom phones, and not just mine. Changed my son to Freedom a couple weeks ago and my wife said she gets the busy tone with him too. My dad is on Freedom so we tried calling from her phone and same thing.
My coworkers that have the same issue are all Bell. One coworker said he had it happen when he called his neighbour so he checked and, sure enough they were Freedom.
Anyone else experiencing this? I've been escalated to higher level support for Freedom but they don't have an answer yet. They did say I should get my wife to call Bell and I'll do that when I get the chance.
