Lands phones...
Typically means NO RADIO involved
(
POTS refers to "Plain Old TELEPHONE Service")...
A POPULAR (and much cheaper) alternative to
"twisted pair" hard wired telephone service... is the
newer
PACKET phone service...
All these (here in the USA) typically include
a CUSTOMER "network interface ... Commonly
outside your house where the "phone wires" enter.
Your side of the box should have an RJ11 plug
inside. You can RELEASE the MODULAR wire
exactly as you do... inside of your house...
If properly wired.. YOUR ENTIRE HOUSE is
on the wire you just unplugged (TELCO is in the
RJ11 jack).
Plug in a GOOD working phone into that
connection...
If you still have NO-DIAL-TONE you have just
verified the trouble is OUTSIDE (no charge for repair)...
Please for BETTER trouble assistance...
IDENTIFY your "provider".
