I don't have a dial tone on my home phone. The phone co. says the line is clear. Any trouble shooting tips?
Posted by admin
unplug ALL your phones..take out the batteries, unplug from electric. wait 5 mins then plug them in again. before you do, try testing the jacks with a CORDED PHONE. Sometimes cordless phones can send a short to the line. thats why its always good to keep a corded phone around. if that doesnt work, and they ran a test to your MPOE, then its possibly an inside wire proble, You can hire anybody to fix your inside wires, you dont have to have the phone company do it.

Try connecting another phone to the line. If it still doesn't work, get somebody from the phone co. to move their a$$ and check.
