try changing phone to tone dialing . one phone line has been setup for Decadic dialing and the other line may be setup for tone dialing.
If tone dialing is working on one line but not the other then get phone company to change the dialing type on the phone line.
Dual tone multi frequency is the technical name for tone dialing and is more efficient than decadic dialing or pulse dialing.

The button switches from tone dialing to the old pulse number dialing.

take anotehr phone that you know that is working and plug it into the same wall Telephone plug. If you get dial tone it means your original phone is faulty. If not.. then you must contact your service provider to send out a tecnician to check your line from the local exchange. In south Africa you should get 52Volt dc on your line ..

Is there a switch to select pulse or tone dialling? If so try it in both positions.

This can be a shorting in the input line of the telephone which makes the input voltage of about 50 Volt DC drain into the switching device.
So trace the voltage drain into the circuit to confirm.

To store numbers into the phone's memory:

Lift receiver - you should hear dial tone. Then, press 'STORE', press key M1, M2 or M3.* Enter the number you wish to store. Then, press the 'STORE' key again. Now, press the memory position you chose above, (M1, M2 or M3).** Replace receiver back on cradle.

* To store in numeric 1 - 9, just press the 'MEMORY' key for this step.
** When storing in numeric 1-9, Press the 'MEMORY' key and then the number you wish to store in this step.

Tip: For a phone card, use M1 for the 800 number and M2 for the PIN.

I would contact your phone provider. It could be a coinceidence that the dial tone stopped working.
DSL does not require dial tone to work.

I picked up a cid 244w phone at goodwill because it will work with the power out. With a lot of fiddling around I found that if you push the erase button and hold it, then push the review arrow down button the menu starts. It starts with Contrast then to language, area code, date and time, and lastly tone or pulse.Set it to tone,Pulse is the old rotary dial phones. You scroll through the menu by pushing the erase button and change things with the review up and down buttons. If you wait too long to change something the menu automatically advances. If the item you want to change passes by just start over. Good luck, I hope this helps
