Her parents were probably dialing or had just placed a call and that call they placed had not yet been answered.
That's why later on she got through.

We can share the money Tim is going to pay us for saving him some development money since we solved the issue.

In my case I called the same number several times in a row and recieved the Goodbye message. Later when the call completed I asked my friend if he had been using the phone and he responded yes. If he had just dialed out I shouldn't have received the Goodbye message several times.

I could be wrong but I think he was talking on his phone when I was calling.

Does this friend have call waiting on his line?

Good point, he does not have call waiting on his phone.

Well then if he had been actively engaged in a call (speaking to someone, not dialing and not ringing a distant party) it should give you back a busy signal.
Unless he called a cell phone where there was no answer supervision.

My mom was on her phone talking when I experienced the Goodbye. She does not have call waiting. Also, it a POTS line (not cell).

Dunno if there's something systemic going on right now, but I got the "Goodbye" system reply a few times in a row when trying to dial directory assistnce. Waited a couple minutes, then it went through... <shrug>

The "goodbye" message you've been hearing was due to our software not correctly handling the Busy Signal. This has been corrected and you'll now hear a "Busy Signal" if the dialed number is indeed busy.

Still getting this today, trying to place a call to the East Coast.

Edit: Call went through several minutes later. Busy trunk? I have been experiencing this fairly often over the past week or so...
