when i push a button on my line the dial tone comes back-i cannot dial out
yet it will ring when called from another phone-any ideas?
verizon service and 2 lines coming into house
gray box tested good out side-what gives thank you

OSmetimes, and I habvnt seen this be a problem in a long time -

Try switching the red and green wires in the outlet box.

OTOH, if this jjuststarted happening out of the blue, and you havnt
touched any wiring -

I'd say abad phone.

Do all the phones in your house do this?

I think Matt drinks on Sunday's.

Not biting, Ed.

I'm sorry you wont accept my apology; it was offered with sincerity.

May I ask that you not follow me around, turning every thread into an
attempt at a flame war?

Thanks.

I won't accept your apology because I don't think it was sincere.

If you go to a public forum you can't be accused of following anyone around
but rather simply reading the posts. Anyway, you've got it. You stay off my
back and I'll stay of yours.

Works for me.

Although I wish you'd accept it; as there are time I need help with
appliances and I'd like to feel I could ask you for help.

But there's nothing I can do to change your mind; perhaps over time you
will see I am sincere and will have a change of heart.

Until then, all the best.

nope... not drunk. polarity can be an issue.
I used to have a modem (300 baud) that wouldn't work in one
configuration. the phone wouldn't dial (just as OP says) in the
other.

I ended up using a "tap the hook" a number of times to dial my access
numbers (this was before modes that generated their own tones). it
really sucked for 800 numbers...
