Contact your VoIP service provider and inquire about the repeat dialing feature. This feature should be included with the basic minimum monthly plan on all major VoIP service providers.

Learn about different phone instruments that provide the repeat dialing feature. Some instruments allow you to press a particular number to activate repeat dialing. The keys for activating repeat dialing vary in each instrument or service provider. For instance, Vonage requires its users to press #5 to activate repeat dialing.

Check the VoIP service provider’s Web site. If repeat dialing is included as a feature, then you can alter its setting by logging into your account and editing the settings. Select "automatically redial in case of busy line." This way, every time you get a busy tone, the number is redialed.
