This is another way. Please think about limiting your loops like I have
below. It is possible to get a channel that didn't detect a hangup, and
would stay busy the way you have listed above. 

[anotherway]
exten => s,1,SetVar(Loop=0)
exten => s,2,DigitTimeout(5)
exten => s,3,ResponseTimeout(20)
exten => s,4,Background(type-your-selection)


exten => t,1,SetVar(Loop=[${Loop}+1])
exten => t,2,gotoif([${Loop} > 6]?t|100)
exten => t,3,gotoif([${Loop} == 3]?t|200)
exten => t,4,goto(s|3)

exten => t,100,Hangup

exten => t,200,Background(if-you-need-help-press-pound-for-instructions)
exten => t,201,goto(s|3)
