I was in the middle of a phone call last night, when the line went dead.
I waited 30 seconds for the other party to put the phone down and then redialed.
I then heard the three rising bleeps (as just before "the number you have dialed is unavailable"), and heard the message: "The number you have dialed is not accepting calls at the moment".
As far as I was aware there is no mechanism to set a landline to reject calls (and I've always thought it odd that I've never seen a phone with an "off" switch).
I redialed a few minutes later and was connected with no problem.
Any ideas?
