I have a copper land line that was working fine until about a week ago. At first, people calling in only got static after the first couple of rings. We could still make outgoing calls, though. Then after a day or two, we could no longer make outgoing calls - lots of static on the line. Now we can't make outgoing calls at all. At fisrt I thought it was our phone (vtech cordless with 3 handsets), so I bought a new phone (panansonic) but still have the same problem. When I call now, I get a busy signal.
I tried using the online Troubleshooter, but it only goes to "No dialtone" and when I click Next, it brigns me back to the start page. I tried using the online chat, but it kept disconnecting saying the service was unavailable - even after a support person responded. The Call Me feature is useless - it said it can't test the line while it is being used, but I wasn't calling from that line since it isn't working!
