If you dialed and no one was there to answer, all you got was a busy signal.

No, you would get endless ringing.

Not endless.

Eventually you would get the "off hook" signal, which was a rapid, very loud busy signal designed to be heard even if the receiver was under pillows or stuffed in a desk drawer. A voice would say "One of your phones is off the hook, please hang it up."
