I live in Md. and have Verizon copper for phone and DSL. The phone I

I am going to feed back what I understood from your description of the problem.

a) You have a Uniden (Chinese) hard-wired all the way phone that goes dumb sometimes - does not speak to the other end.
b) This is the only phone in your dwelling that displays this problem.
c) You have done the obvious - checked the connections, wiggled the jacks and so forth. No help.
These cheap Chinese phones are all-on-a-chip devices, acutely sensitive to any sort of spike on the line and also age out with startling regularity. If no other phone in the house displays this problem, replace the Uniden.
