My land line phone connected to phone company will not hang up?

Question

Somedays the phone works and some it will not. When u make a call and hang the phone up, I am hearing the person I just spoke with still hanging up or the please hang up your phone. It will work for 4 months and then start this non hang ip stuff. 2 days ago I installed a new jack it was perfect until the third day? Is there a short in the green or red wire? I plugged into the network interface and all was good. Any ideas?

Are you using the same phone at all test locations?  Sounds to me like you have bad switch in your phone.  Most telephone problems that run on copper stay bad until fixed.  There is a couple of problems that occur intermittently, but does not do what you are describing.  I would look at the phone itself first.
