Would you believe, I still have a pulse-tone phone line. g When I moved

Have you tried switching your phone to tone to see if it will dial ? Years
ago my phone company was charging extra for a tone phone line. After a few
years I found out it did not make any differance what you used in your
house. Either kind would work.
Switched all of my phones to tone. Several years later the phone company
quit the surcharge for the tones (or they may just have raided the rates, I
forgot what).
