Default phone line problems

I have dial tone on all my phone lines, but when somebody dials in
there is no ringing on my phones. When i called from my cell phone and
picked up the phone when it was supposed to be ringing i could answer
it and hear myself talking, but there is static on the line. What is
the problem. I also tested the inside lines for continuity and they
were fine. The phone company came out and put splices right behind the
main box outside. I can see how that would cause static, but would
that cause the phones not to ring inside? There are two homeruns going
to the box outside. If I disconnect the kitchen I can get the living
room to ring in, but if i move the outside box at all it the static
willl start and it will disconnect. If i mess with the kitchen phone i
can get it to ring once. When I answer it there's static.
Please help
