For mobile...
Most likely it will be a Central Office programming error. Someone (telco providers) along the chain of the call is not forwarding properly. This usally takes several phone calls and hunting down the perpetrator until it is fixed. As a general rule of thumb (from experience) no telco provider or group/department within telcos likes to admit the issue is on their end.
For household...
There is most likely a short on their inside wiring. The TelCo sends the signal to your buddy's house (this is where you here two rings), then the short cuases the TelCo to think there is someone picking up when no one has, thus the busy signal. In regards to the short, it could be a bad jack, bad phone, bad cabling where the tip (positive), and ring (negative) are crossed, possibly due to exposed sheilding, a nail through the wire shirting it out, etc.
I would start troubleshooting by isolating each jack as much as possible and working through them one at a time.
Hope this helps!

You can't. If you dial the number to the house phone from that same phone you will get a busy signal.

Once you receive the initial busy signal, you must hang-up, doing this ends the call.You must call again & again, until the person you are calling, answers their phone.

When someone dials your home phone they get a busy signal why?
Several possible reasons: 1) You are talking on the phone. 2) You accidentally left a phone off the hook. 3) There is a short circuit in your phone line. 4) Someone else is calling you at the same time. 5) There is a malfunction in the phone company equipment. 6) If you have a party line, the other party is using the phone. If you hear a "fast busy" tone instead of the normal busy tone, that means there is an overload in the phone company's switching equipment or there is some other malfunction. Fast busy signals are also often heard after an intercept recording explaining a telephone problem.
