I have tried to turn them off, push the squelch button at the same time, change channels. Nothing seems to work.
In addition to the Channel, we also call the Frequency, there are sub tones on each channel. You must have the channel and sub tone match in order to "hear" each other. I found a manual:

SOURCE: 2-way radios
The Bellsouth 2231 is a FRS VHF I couldn´t find if thi Bell south 1007 is FRS in UHF or VHF if you have this informtion compair them if both are in the same band VHF or UHF both radios can communicate to each other
SOURCE: Motorola Talkabout FV700 not transmitting nor receiving
To troubleshoot: Unlock your keypad lock, then reprogram your radios to the following settings. (Check function after each change)
1) Shut off the Interference Eliminator (set to zero).
2) Turn off the Qt filter.
3) Vox setting to off.
By shutting off all the "bells and whistles" of the radio, you will take it back to being just simply on a frequency. If your radios do not communicate with one another then, or with your friend's radios, you have radio which is failing to operate.
If the radios do work in this simple mode. One by one add the special features back until you discover the culprit.
SOURCE: My blackbox radio breaks squelch only when button is pushed.
I am familiar with radio programming software , but not your model. You could have squelch adjustments or settings that need to be set in the software end. Did you set something to mute? Can you set the signal level for the radio to open squelch? Are you able to connect to a service monitor and inject a signal and see where it does break squelch? These are things I would check.
SOURCE: Can't change channel of a Motorola Visar
The Visar has a channel lock feature. If you hold down the two channel buttons at the same time, it will do one of two things depending on the settings. Either the channel will lock, or the channel numbers in the LCD will flip.
If you press the channel button and the "popples" "pop" (for lack of a better word) then the channel selection buttons re most likely OK. To fix it you just press both channel buttons at the same time for about 5 seconds. It will beep and you should be able to change the channels. If not, then it needs to be repaired.
