    If one phone line is broken do all phones lose dial tone?
    We have DSL, but no dial tone. There is one wire that ran to an outside wall that might have been disturbed by contractors replacing the siding.

    Call your house with a cell or other phone and see if it rings "busy" or "rings and rings".
    If busy, the pair is shorted or a phone/device/filters is off hook, unplug every thing and try a known good phone, If it just Rings, the line is open.
    Try that first and come back.
