On page 145 of
How to be Invisible, I listed a toll-free number that always had a busy signal. Unfortunately, that is now a real number used by someone else. I listed some other numbers to use on the Q and A forum on my website, but those numbers were also changed in time.
Further, rather than giving out a number that is always busy, I prefer to have a legitimate number available that does ring but is never answered. I therefore contacted a friend in Spain's Canary Islands who obtained an extra cell phone in his own name. He keeps it charged up at all times and has turned off both the ringer and the option to leave a voice mail message. The number just rings and rings and rings. If I am ever asked why I never answer the phone, I can say that I only answer when I'm in the islands! (If you are interested in such a service yourself,

Otherwise, you can obtain an extra cell phone on your own and copy the arrangement above. Just be sure to keep the phone
charged and the service
paid up.
