No Dialtone ?

Question

Just yesterday my phone just all of the sudden stopped working. However my DSL still works. I went outside to the NID and the phone works out there. There are no visual problems out there. I have tried unplugging every phone and then only plugging in one that i know works and there is still no dial tone. Then i tried plugging it in with a DSL filter and there is still no dial tone. I did this on all the different jacks in the house and i never get a dial tone. Does anybody know how i can fix this or find out the exact problem?? Thanks!

Answer 1

is it plugged in to outlet, some times they work loose. good luck

Answer 2

It could be a problem with an inside jack or some sort in the inside wire which connects the phone

Answer 3

unlike a standard dialtone which needs two separate wires too make dialtone..dsl only needs one and not a very good one at that..dsl will travel fine over a barbed wire ...so..more than likely you have a dirty or dusty jack meaning dust got in to the wire prongs and now there shorting out that jack and all the others..but dsl will travel over this..best thing to do is flashlight into the jack or jacks and look for excessive dust or green corrosion and replace that jack if you cant simply blow the dirt out..which is fine..just do it alone..kinda odd to be on your knees blowing at your wall....bye
