Urgent: 'Agent busy' message when called from a ph...
# ❓・bug-report
v
We have voice AI agents which have working well for last few months. In the last few days, multiple times a day, we get 'number busy' response - phone rings twice and disconnects - twilio seems working well - recorded as an unsuccessful call in retell AI - with 00:00 minutes and says 'user hangup' as the reason for disconnect. There is one call coming in. No concurrency issues. We looked through settings and could not figure it out. Can anyone help? Agent ID: agent_a64b89ded54c279f58cef05a8e Org ID: org_NGolRMeLJLJZoupK

I can help troubleshoot this! The "user hangup" at 00:00 with "number busy" after 2 rings typically indicates the call isn't reaching your agent before disconnecting often due to webhook/API response timeouts or number configuration issues. Quick question: Are you seeing any errors or delays in your webhook logs when these failed calls occur? Also, has anything changed recently with your phone number setup or API endpoints?

Hello @VJVJ
I sent this to team to look

Hello @VJVJ , can you share the call id if they show up on retell.

Not one call - many calls - today we had 8 simultaneous call failures. Four Call IDs below --> call_3224ebb70b9f1513dc699e49f78 call_207285d3673f90f084adef76873 call_0a84980a21a720390eb3ccf8075 call_b6909176727be101bd3ffe0e0c9 @Omar Ashraf | Community Lead @Shehroze -Support @Retell
This is from Twilio - getting 404 error when it tries to connect to the agent @User @User @User
Even when I assign a number we bought from retell - still same issue happening

This means that it can’t find your domain or can’t post to it
v
You mean with our domain. Just wondering why would call fail? Can you guide us how to fix this?
c
your server is returning a 404 error
not us -- so we have no idea how to diagnose it
v
We tried multiple things - none of them worked. We used numbers bought directly from retell - one number via twilio and one number from telynx - every number has dropped calls. We tried different agents - still calls are failing. Can you look into this ASAP? We have postponed going live for 3 days because of this issue. @Omar Ashraf | Community Lead @Colin - Integrations @ Retell AI @Shehroze -Support @Retell Call IDs are given below - call_e00cd090b3303220b7e7f543609 and call_6beec325641a879350d4a9b9e4e --> Error message: User hang up --> but call never gets connected, user gets only busy message

Hello @VJVJ , all the call ids you sent have the user hang up and all of them the from number is same number , the ones ends -303, and I did tried to call one of the agent my self and its working fine , the issue here is from your phone number somehow your provider is rejecting these calls , try to call from another number.

I did try from a land line too 3 days ago - same result - same user hang up - call didn't connect - - call_2560bdf9d5596702b577f924c33 @Omar Ashraf | Community Lead @Shah - support @ Retell AI @Shehroze -Support @Retell

Yes @Omar Ashraf | Community Lead We realized when we connected a MCP, that caused the phone to stop working. Not sure why? We disconnected the MCP - it is working now. By any chance, do you know what we need to do to connect the MCP and make the phone work at same time?
