It's very simple the originator of the call has control of the line until they
hang up, therefore he never hung up thus busying your line. If you have more
than one telephone handset in your house you can test this yourself, just ask a
friend to call you and when you answer tell them to hang on. Put your handset
down and go to the other handset in your house, pick up and your friend will
still be on the line.
This is nothing new it has been this way ever since I can remember and I'm
quite old!
