Firstly, disconnect all devices / base unit from your landline. Then, using a mobile phone, dial your landline number. Does the ringing tone in the earpiece continue or does it stop after one ring? If it stops then you have a line problem which you need to report to your service provider.
New cordless phones have become victims of old technology.
I'll explain:
when all the old phones are gone and a cordless phone base is plugged into the phone wires, it actually is plugged into a interference gathering Web of wires. Try connecting a .1 microfarad ceramic capicator across the red and green phone wires as close to the base unit as possible. Not having a .1 microfarad cap? Then simply plug a few DSL filters into the old unused jacks. Be sure to put one on the wire that feeds the base unit. You are killing the interference signals that are gathered by the unterminated old phone wires that have become an antenna system.
