How do i fix my phone, it rings, but i cannot dial out and there is lots of static and buzz when i pick up the phone

This phenomenon is the phone lines and phone instrument rectifying the RF signal from your cell phone as it communicates periodically with the cell sites. The energy is rectified (turned into voltage) by the phone lines and appears as a buzzing pulsing noise in the home phone. This will trash a fax completely. There is NO solution except to turn off the cell phone or orient it away from phones and phone lines sufficiently to stop the interaction. You could put hte phone in a RF proof bag (metalized film) which would then prevent it from receiving an incoming cell call. Either way, you lose some usability of either home or cell phone for the duration of the issue.

check Grounding Connection. Also check Security Alarm interface

Static (buzzing) on your line are produced from analog equipment in your phone system (your phone and phone cable). When the phone adapter receives the sound data, it digitizes the data and eliminates the possibility of producing static or buzzing. Try using a different phone or replacing the phone cable and test if that resolves the issue.

not hearing a dial tone.

If you do not hear a dial tone, please check the following:

• Make sure the telephone and VoIP telephone adapter are plugged in

• Disconnect and re-connect the telephone cable

• Make sure your telephone is set to ring (not set to pulse) If the above items have been checked, it is possible your phone adapter needs to be rebooted.

• Reboot your equipment as described in "Rebooting Your Equipment."

• If this doesn't work, try the solutions as described in "Calling Issues with Firewall/Router"


Take care..

We called the phone company.....There was a problem up on the telephone pole. They fixed it, no charge.

ring tune setup ringing not beep or ring once

It is a static buildup in the box. You will have to keep unpluging router for and cable for 10 seconds and reconnect each time.

The easiest thing to do is use Direct Pickup Feature.
When the phone is ringing dial Feature 76
Dial internal number of a phone that is ringing (also refered as extension number)
You just answered a ringing phone at your desk.

If you have login information for Feature **config, I can help you set up your phone to be ringing as well.

I had the same issue that started on some 3 year old 5.8 GHZ Uniden cordless phones. I moved it from room to room and same buzzing. I found a older Uniden set I had kept in a desk drawer. I swapped out the power transformer (power cord) and it is clear as a bell now.

I just got a new line just for my SF-5100 fax. It was working before I switched to this phone company. I checked the line on a regular phone and it seemed ok. When I plug it up to my fax machine, when it rings I get this static sound instead of rings. One of my customers said when she tried to fax something, she got that same static sound and it would not go through. When I tried to fax her something, I dialed the number and when the fax machine was repeating the numbers it was a series of that same static sound. Then the operator said I should try my call again - so it did not dial through. A few minutes ago, the screen said RX also. Can you please help?

A couple of things to try. First, walk up to the phone that's ringing and dial 720# on the intercom. They may have set Call Pickup Deny (by dialing 721) and this will clear it.

If that doesn't work, you may have fallen out of the pickup group. You can test this by using the Directed Call Pickup code which is 4 + the ringing extension number.

If that works, but 40 doesn't, there's some programming(system prog 600) that needs to be examined. By default though, each phone is in pickup group 1.

Check the phone cable you are using for your POTS line. Attach a phone directly to the phone jack and see if it is clear or static without the device.

please check if the machine is set to correct answering mode i.e. TAD/FAX ?correct it if otherwise. in case it is ok please check whether the DRPD mode may not be switched off ,pls correct it.. HAPPY FAXING HEMANT GROVER
