When I call some people, there is a beep in between rings indicating the other person is on the phone already. Is this true for all phones, all providers?
iPhone 6, iOS 8.3
Not sure about other situations but if the other person has AT&T and has call waiting disabled, the call goes immediately to voicemail -- on the callers end it sounds and acts the same way as if the other person's phone is turned off or is otherwise out of service.

I didn't say that -- as I don't know. I only gave one example that I do know where a person can be on the line and the call will go straight to voicemail.

That would depend on the carrier. I get that beep if the line is engaged. If I let it keep ringing, it will go to voicemail.

OK thank you
TThanks! Any chance you know if AT&T has that beeping sound? I know for sure Verizon does.
Sorry, I've never used AT&T. My carrier is Verizon.
Beep sound meaning other person is on the line
