9 电话故障

et through to a number for the past fifteenminutes，but I keep getting a funny noise．

A：Are you sure it's the right number，sir？

B：Yes，I've checked in the telephone book．Are the lines over-loaded？

A：What kind of sound is it making？

B：A continuous beeping sound．And I can't get a proper dialingtone．I'm calling from another line．

A：You may have a fault on your line．I'll report it to the engi-neers．

B：Thank you very much for your help．

A：Don't mention it．Bye-bye．

B：Good-bye．
