Why am I getting all circuits are busy now?

An all-circuits-busy message means that there aren't any free outgoing lines. Occasionally, there are more people trying to place calls than the number of available phone lines. Simply hang up and try again. A line should free up soon.

Why does my Verizon phone keep saying all circuits are busy?

"All circuits are busy. Please try your call again later." If you receive this when calling one specific number, the issue is with the service provider of the number you are dialing. If it happens for all numbers dialed, the issue is with the Verizon Wireless network.

Does line busy mean blocked?

If you call a phone number and hear a busy signal after a while, this does not mean that the recipient's blocked your number. This means that the person you are trying to reach is engaged on another call, or has set their phone to divert incoming calls to voicemail.
