The following RFC 3261 snippet is more complete.

21.4.18 480 Temporarily Unavailable

   The callee's end system was contacted successfully but the callee is
   currently unavailable (for example, is not logged in, logged in but
   in a state that precludes communication with the callee, or has
   activated the "do not disturb" feature).  The response MAY indicate a
   better time to call in the Retry-After header field.  The user could
   also be available elsewhere (unbeknownst to this server).  The reason
   phrase SHOULD indicate a more precise cause as to why the callee is
   unavailable.  This value SHOULD be settable by the UA.  Status 486
   (Busy Here) MAY be used to more precisely indicate a particular
   reason for the call failure.

   This status is also returned by a redirect or proxy server that
   recognizes the user identified by the Request-URI, but does not
   currently have a valid forwarding location for that user.
