Trouble with one phone number

From my landline I can dial anyone’s phone number and get through to them. There is one particular number that I dial and I get a busy signal. That person has checked all of their call blocking settings, etc., and they are clear. Why would I not be able to get through to one particular number? I have reset the modem, done all the Xfinity unplugged, replug, etc.  I have disconnected my phone etc as well.

Good morning @user_3evnx6, and thanks for visiting us on the community forums with your issue, I hope this message finds you well. I am sorry to hear about the issues you are having with that number, but you have come to the right place for assistance. Is the number you are having issues with able to call you?

Yes. There are no other issues except calling out on this one number. When I do, I get an immediate busy signal which tells me the call is not getting out of xfinity. In the meantime I’ve replaced the outdated modem as well. This did not solve the problem.

I received numerous emails from xfinity asking to confirm my solution in the forum. There is no solution.  This problem has not been resolved. I’ve spent countless hours on the phone, chat line, updating equipment, etc. The person whose number is blocked by an outgoing xfinity switch is an emergency contact. I had no choice but to contact the FCC.
