Cordless Phones 

1. Verify the handset is charged, then unplug the base from the phone jack and electrical outlet
    
2. Plug a standard corded telephone into that jack
    
3. Unplug all additional equipment from your telephone jacks (answering machines, fax machines, etc.)
    
   • If you can make outgoing calls when the additional equipment is disconnected, plug each piece back in one at a time to determine if a piece of equipment is causing the issue
      

Dial Tone on One Phone of Many 

1. Unplug the existing phone from the malfunctioning jack and plug a spare telephone into the jack
    
2. If phone service is restored, the problem may have been caused by the other telephone
