The easiest fix is to go to where the phone line enters the house
(inside), unhook everything inside, & try a phone there.

How the hell will this help me? Didn't you read my post? I said that
*some* of the phones (meaning the wiring inside the house) work and some
of them don't, so obviously the problem is inside the house.

This will eliminate all the inside. If it works, try hooking up one
line inside at a time to see which one's bad. Or, just get a cheap
codless phone, if it's too hard to redo all the inside wires if
that's the problem. If, for example, you have just sprayed for
insects, you may have killed a line jack, dampness can also do this.
If it still won't work the problem is outside. The phone company will
generally fix the outside gear (theirs) for free. Hope this helps.

Nope. It doesn't.
