Absolutely! If you take a few minutes to double-check the following items, your problem may be easier to fix than you thought:

  • Check your equipment (e.g., cordless phone, answering machine, or fax) by disconnecting it from the phone jack and power source. Sometimes resetting your equipment will restore service.
  • Make sure all of your phones are hung up.
  • Do a visual inspection of all exposed wiring and connections for damage or loose connections.
  • If you have more than one outlet, check each instrument at each outlet to determine if operation can be obtained from any outlet.
  • To isolate jack or house wiring problems, move a working telephone to each jack in the house to find which location is causing the trouble.
