I get a dial tone. When I dial a number, the call does not go through.What is my problem???

Check the side of the phone. Look for TONE / PULSE selection.

MOVE it back and forth and leave it to TONE.

Test it again,

I gather you have the setting for tone and pulse set to tone? Also are you aware the ringing tone is generated by the phone company? When you dial a number and it connects, the phone provider sends the ring signal to the dial phone and the ringing signal to the dialing phone. Do you get a dial tone before dialing?

1) make sure is the phone is working good
2) there are tone dial
3) see the steps before o.k see ,if there are another phone having the same problem. The problem is service provider.
4) eliminate any background noise., mute the cordless handset before dialing.
God bless you

Since you declined to specify the model of your VTech 5.8GHz phone, I can only suggest that you enter it into the search box here to download a copy of the manual. The manual will describe how to switch between pulse and tone dialing.

Hope it helped.

Thanks for using fixya...

Usually there are two modes provided to all fixed line telephones. Tone mode and pulse mode. Pulse mode will dial the call slowly and Tone mode will dial calls quickly. Your phone is in Tone mode i guess. You need not dial the numbers again. Wait for few seconds and the call will get accomplished!

dial tone but mobiles ahve no dial tone when making or receiving calls.....

Try setting it on pulse, then hear it click when you push the number, if it works switch it back and try agian

The problem was the main phone line not the phone itself

The problem is possibly the keypad on the phone. Try another phone , preferrably a standard corded phone. If you still cannot break the dial tone, then the problem is with the telephone line (phone company)
