Something's the matter with my telephone wiring in my old
house. The original hard-wired rotary phone works, and two of my six
modern phone jacks work. But the others periodically lose their dial
tone.

"Periodically" is the key. Loose wires/connections is almost certainly
the culprit. Using adapters (those little snap-together plastic gadgets,
specially cheap ones, can be a problem.

I have a full basement, and can trace the wires, but don't see
any loose wires.

You don't LOOK for loose wires; you get a dial tone and then wiggle the
wires and connectors and so on, and see if you can discover what can
repeatedly cause an interruption.

My question is, who do I call for inside telephone wiring
problems? The phone company, or a general electrician, or who? TIA,

Geez, those guys cost money! ;-)


Thanks Bert....... LOL that's what I was attemping to say.
That's how I solved my problem also.
