Before your message starts use a "sit.wav" file which is a tone Bell uses to indicate a disconnected line. It sounds like Doo dah dee.

See this link and at the end of the article there is a link to download the wav file.

The numbers appear to be coming from various, unrelated local businesses and when answered the calls just drop. Its happened to him 6 times in the last 2 days. He hasn't noticed any charges for them so it looks like they are dropped before or just as he answers. He didn't receive any today so maybe it was a system glitch.

I get the same calls. If he doesn't recognize a number, just let it go to voice-mail, as I do. If they really want to get a hold of him, they will leave a message, otherwise you'll be paying for airtime if you answer the call.

Is this a network issue? His number is widely known (close group of family/friends).
