I can't comment as to whether this will work in the UK as the last phone
I had in the UK was Birmingham Cable around 12 years ago. But that said
we seem to have similar problems here in France, I seem to have overcome
it, someone else has used my settings and his seems to work and another
is going to configure his tonight. 

So these are our settings:-

In * Makefile
.
# Original busydetect routine
BUSYDETECT = #-DBUSYDETECT

# Improved busydetect routine, comment the previous one if you use this
one
BUSYDETECT+= -DBUSYDETECT_MARTIN
# Detect the busy signal looking only at tone lengths # For example if
you
have 3 beeps 100ms tone, 100ms silence separated by 500 ms of silence
BUSYDETECT+= #-DBUSYDETECT_TONEONLY
# Inforce the detection of busy singal (get rid of false hangups) #
Don't
use together with -DBUSYDETECT_TONEONLY
BUSYDETECT+= -DBUSYDETECT_COMPARE_TONE_AND_SILENCE

In zapata.conf

busydetect=yes
busycount=7

In voicemail.conf

maxmessage=180
minmessage=3
maxsilence=10
silencethreshold=128

In indications.conf I have only the details of France I've removed
everything else.

YMMV
