    Usually they are telemarketers. They have systems that don't require them to be on the phone unless somebody on the other end answers. At that point their phone rings - and when they answer - they start their pitch. Annoying, isn't it?

    It could mean that they called you and your line was busy and they selected the option to have it keep trying to call your phone, then ring theirs when there is finally an answer.
