My telephone line as developed a problem. When someone calls the phone
rings one very short ring and then the line goes dead. As a result I
can't receive calls but calling out is not affected. Any suggestions?
Begin by eliminating any internal wiring or phones as the source of the
problem. �Remove all phones, fax machines and modems from the wall
jacks. �Take a corded type phone to the NIM (Network Interface Module)
attached to your house where the phone company hooks up. �Plug your
phone into that module and see if the problem remains. �If not then you
have something inside the house causing your line to appear busy and
messages are going to voicemail or just appearing busy. �If it
continues at the NIM then your phone company will have to check the
circuit.
unplug all cordless phones
does that fix it?
if it doesnt, unplug network interface, plug regular phone in
interface. if that doesnt fix it call phone company its there problem.
I had that exact trouble turned out to be a bad card in their system.
if plugging a regular phone in the interface works get a cheap 25 foot
telephone extension cord, plug in interface run inside home to a phone
so you have service while this gets sorted out.
