No dial tone inside the home OR at the NID
I recently woke up the other morning to find my phone had no dial tone. When people call the number the phone itself doesn't ring, but on their end it just keeps ringing. I hear static on the line when I turn on the phone. DSL is still working as well. I then went to my parents and borrowed their corded phone and took it outside to test at the NID. After a few moments, the phone rang but no one was there and I suddenly had a dial tone, working both on the corded phone and the cordless phone inside. After a few hours, the line went dead again. I tried the corded phone out at the NID again, and now the corded phone won't even turn on to where I can use it (it's a really old phone, but it was working earlier). Ever since then, the line has had nothing but static and buzzing sounds. Any suggestions?

The telephone company recently replaced the wiring to the NID not even a month ago when we had the phone line established due to an animal chewing up the cord leading up to it. I also took the cordless phone to my parents house and hooked it up to their connection and called my home phone. The phone kept ringing and ringing. When I came home and hooked the phone back up to my jack, I had a dial tone again. This is certainly a strange situation haha. |

That kind of nonsense happens all the time. Corroded contacts (somewhere), and I think it's not necessarily your wiring. Constant buzzinging - High AC voltage on line is probably caused by bad protector (tel co problem, don't think that's yours) Buzzing when it rains - Isulaton breakdown and bugs like spiders. Again, don't think it's your problem. I might suspect that someone didn't put the NID back together again right or there is a corroded connection somewhere to you. The fact that it clears after it rings for a while should be a clue. Remote testing may or may not be conclusive. They may or may not want to do it with the house removed. Usually there is the electrical equivalent of 1/2 a standard bell or 0.5 REN in the NID. This isn't an optimal optimal configuration for DSL, but it works. The test jack with the loop of wire isn't as good as the auto-jack that doesn't use one. Yep, think it's an intermittant telco problem. |
