Question

Because I'm trying to ring someone in Tokyo and I keep getting a certain tone (for the last 15 mins or so)...

It's a short medium pitched beep which is repeated, bit like our engaged tone but faster....

Any ideas???

"wing wing wing wing"; This means its ringing

"wong wing wong wing wong wing" means engaged.

Hello

It's a strange beeping noise. And if it's a mobile and the phone is out of range someone Japanese tells you. Well, I assume they are telling me that. I guess they could be saying something quite rude...

Normally, The busy tone means youre phone has no signal. If the reciever has no signal ......you get the jap women telling you so!!
