When you call someone and just get music?

[Morrisman]

Trying to arrange some gas tank installation and an email from the company asks me to call the guy to organise stuff, but when I dial the number it just plays music. No options, no dial tone, just immediate music.

Is this some new trendy personalised dial tone people can set up for when you call them? Does it mean engaged? Is it a scam, siphoning my vast wealth from my accounts via my phone banking app, as we speak?

It's a poorly set up call distribution system.
I don't think it means anything more sinister than they don't have enough call handlers to answer the phones (and are hopefully more competent at installing gas tanks than setting up phone systems)

Phone him from a phone without a banking app then at least you will keep the wealth

Dial-a-disc?

I finally got through.... the girl was working from home but had given me the office number......

Tank should be installed in a week or so. And no, not by her.
