I sometimes have users complain that their extension isn't working properly, because calls won't connect.

What's actually happened, is they're calling people whose line is engaged.

The 3CX Windows client very briefly turns the 'on hook' status area to 'busy', but blink and you'll miss it. Additionally, users are not that observant.

If you then check the call history on the client, it'll show the calls to the busy numbers, however, it doesn't give any indication that these were 'busy' - they look like successfully completed calls.

What I'd like, is to reduce calls to the helpdesk, by making it clear to users that the number they have called is busy, and that there is no fault with the system.

Hello @PreviouslyAsterisk

Please navigate to Settings / PBX and enable the option "Play Busy prompt when extension is busy".
This will give an audible prompt to the users when the destination number is busy
 
Thank you!

How on earth did I miss that? Great, that's sorted, cheers!
 
Glad i could help
