Try to place a call from your secondary landline phone.

The problem seems to be with your primary phone.

Plug the problem phone into a different phone jack in your house. Try to place a phone call from each phone jack in your house.

If you can’t place a call from any of the phone jacks, consider replacing the phone.

Let’s find out if you can receive phone calls.

Use your cellphone or contact someone and have them call your home phone number.

When you pick up your phone to make a call, you may hear a "stutter tone".

This means you have a new voicemail message. A stutter tone sounds like a dial tone going on and off a few times, quickly. Then it changes to a normal dial tone.

Wait 2 or 3 seconds for the stutter tone to stop and become a normal, steady dial tone.

Start your call only when you hear the steady dial tone.

Another type of alert signal is a fast dial tone.

A fast dial tone is an intermittent beeping sound. It lets you know you've left your phone off the hook.

Check that all the phones in your house are hung up properly.

Double check your dialing.

It’s possible your phone isn’t registering all the numbers you’re pushing. Do you need to dial the area code for a local call? Did you remember to dial a 1 before the area code? Double check your dialing and try dialing again.
