If I try to call my landline phone it rings once and goes to static, I can call out just fine and my DSL is working. I have checked the pole plug outside and it rings in and out, I unhooked one line and tried again and the problem is still there. I have checked to make sure all connections are good and no loose wires??

Comment/question I have the same problem. I live in parkton md. And have verizon. Do you have the same and have you had it fixed yet, inside or outside problem

In the OP's case it should be inside. A wet or corroded connection somewhere.

To kill a couple of birds with two stones:
Plug good phone into NID. Attempt to call house via cell phone or whatever.

Problem exists: Contact phone company

Problem goes away: It's internal to the house.

In nay case, wet insect nests or wires are the likely cause. The create a parallel connection across the telco lines. It can also be corrosion on the terminals.

Buzzing when you try to make a call can mean other things.

If in the House, I would look at the ends of your line cords, and the gold pins they connect too.
If either are black, green or not gold, peplace the cord and the jack.
