Dial tone, but no incoming calls received

Hi, Help, seems as soon as I paid my bill on Wednesday, I cannot receive calls: I have a dial tone, the phone will ring not even one full ring (but a half ring), I pick up nothing.  What the caller will hear is "please dial 1 and the area code and number you are trying to reach" I've tried it myself, with dialing 1 and area code and number, just dialing areacode, tried from a cell phone, and from other verizon customers home phone, still the same problem. Is there some code I should put in. Verizon help had me to put in a ticket,. (they say I will pay if the problem is with my phone) don't want that, no other phone to try. I have a cordless, fully charged phone. I can make calls with no problems

Sounds like it could be a wiring problem. You said you called and the agent put in a ticket. Did he say what the line was testing ??

  • Dial tone but unable to make calls.

    Hi,
    I had BT Infinity installed on the 10th Feb 14. About a day or two after it all switched off for about 30 mins. When the phones and internet came back online the phones would not ring out.
    Whether the phones are plugged into the master socket or either extension they are unable to make external calls yet there is a dial tone.
    If I plug the phone in to the test socket then it works fine. This has only ever been an issue since the new faceplate and installation of BT infinity.
    When I went to plug the phone into the test socket I noticed an orange and white wire that has seemingly come out of its connection but as to where I don't know. The other 3 cables are still in.
    Also internet is working fine.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Dave

    None of the extensions work, I get the same thing. A dial tone but unable to ring out.
    So before I order one is this looking to be a faceplate fault? Thanks for all your help.
    Dave
    If you get dial tone with the faceplate disconnected, then the fault is within your own wiring, and it means that the extensions are wired up wrong. You either pay BT to sort it out, or get an independent telephone technician.
    This diagram showns the correct way it should be wired.
    http://forumhelp.dyndns.info/infinity/infinity_wiring2.jpg
    Its most likely that whoever did the Infinity installation, forgot to check for any "star" wiring. ie. extensions connected before the master socket. Its quite often the contractors that forget to do this. The Openreach people usually know what they are doing.
    There is nothing else I can suggest, as it appears that the faceplate is not at fault, as the phone and broadband both work fine from the master socket faceplate.

  • 7911 Phone - No Dial Tone, Unable to Recieve Calls

    I have several 7911 phones that seem to be losing their connectivity status randomly. Occasionally when trying to call these extensions the call will redirect or go to voicemail as if the phone is in use/turned off, but in reality the phone is on and on the hook. The display on the recipient's phone seems normal, but when I pick up the receiver I do not hear a dial tone; when trying to dial out (without a dial tone) the display shows the normal " to <extension name> Ext. ###" as if it is calling but the call does not go through and only silence is heard.
    When I hang up and pick the receiver up again the problem is fixed, a dial tone is heard and calls can be sent and received normally for a while (15 minutes to an hour) then it falls "offline" again and all calls to that extension are redirected until the receiver is picked up/put down again or the phone is reset. This is affecting several extensions, and replacing the phones with new ones does not fix the issue. I've compared settings for the extensions to my phone, also a 7911 but without any of the aforementioned symptoms, in the Unified Communications Manager Express and they appear to be setup properly. I couldn't find any information on this here so please help!
    Thanks in advance.            

    Hi Adam.
    Which is phones connectivity layout?
    Are they always able to reach the CME?
    Please also mention CME Version Hardware model and IP Phone load.

  • I only got dial tone but can't dial local number

    Hi All,
    We are upgrading our existing Cisco 3640 router with two nm-2v's with three e&m voice cards) to Cisco 3725 router from the central site( running configuration attached). The remote site uses the same 3640 router.
    Before the migration, our VoIP connection from two sites works fine. Both sites used Cisco 3640(two nm-2v's and three e&m voice cards).
    After we migrated the central site to Cisco 3725 router( one nm-2v installed with two e&m voice cards) using the same parameters on the Cisco 3640 router, we can only get a dial tone to the remote site but can't connect to the local number. We are using IOS Voice on the Cisco 3725 router(central site) version 12.3(8)T3.
    Attached are the running configuration for the Cisco3640 and Cisco3725 router.
    During the migration we have verified that the Analog E&M Hardware is recognized by the Router using the IOS Voice software by issuing the show version command .
    We have also verified that all voice ports are active and verified the E&M signaling type, Audio implementation, Start dial supervision and dial method by issuing the show voice port command. The show voice port command was issued after configuring all the parameters mentioned. This parameters are based on the current config of the Cisco 3640 router to communicate to the PBX.
    We have assumed the wiring arrangement between the PBX and the voice gateway(Cisco router) to be OK, since it is already running using the Cisco 3640 router.
    We have also verified that the Cisco 3725 router is communicating with the PBX. By issuing the "debug vpm signal command", the supervision signaling or the on-hook/off-hook signals are being transmitted between the PBX and the router by lifting the phone handset and dialing the extension number of the remote site. But we only got a dial tone but could not dial the local number.
    We have checked if the Cisco 3725 router is sending and receiving digits to and from the PBX or if the address information (DTMF digits or Pulse Dial) is being passed between both ends by issuing the "debug vtsp dsp command". But unfortunately the router debugging output shows no signs of digits being send and received between the two devices.
    With this, are there any issues that we need to consider on the cisco 3725 before migration? Our data connection and dial-up for remote users works fine. Only the VoIP link to the remote site.
    Hope you can provide inputs on this problem.
    Thanks,
    udimpas

    Ok thanks. I did try the online help. Initially got a very helpful young women who then transfered me to a thoroughly unhelpful man who just said i should wait for the engineer and there was nothing they could do.
    Well the engineers turned up mid morning on friday. Turns out the dial tone i was getting was the previous owner's line that had been blocked when they left. the engineers attached a new bt box, then had to go to the exchange to connect my number, then back to my flat to test. all sorted but seems totally unneccesary. shouldn't this have all happened as part of the activation process and not involved me taking a half days holiday..oh well

  • Loss of phone line, no dial tone but broadband sti...

    I have looged a fault with bt for this issue VOL012-*********, but no engineer turned up yesterday to look at it. I have tested 2 different phones in the master test socket and still have the same problem, no dial tone but broadband is working ok. How do BT get away with treating its customers like this?

    @Scardy, this is exactly what happened to our phone line last September! The phone line was just mush, there was no dial tone, but we were able (just) to send email and look at certain web pages, but it was painfully slow. I tried everything, like you, no improvement. I got in touch with BT, they said there was a fault on the line, I said 'it's been fine for years why now?' BT sent an OR engineer, he turned up on time, it was a very enlightening time for me to be sure! He showed me the 'drop cable' that the phone signal came into our property on - 50 years old! Rubber outer, two strands of copper cable with cardboard insulation between them! I also found a big cut in the cable on the wall of our place, for the life of me that looked like vandalism. He arranged for a new armoured cable to be put in across our front lawn, and hey presto, all was well! With the confidence I had in that, we've got Infinity now, a new master socket and there's no going back. I hope this helps & it all gets sorted out out quickly for you.

  • Please help ... have new samsung ativ se windows 8 phone ... screen lock is on to require password, but on incoming calls its not locked ... how do i lock it for incoming calls too ???? thanks

    please help ... have new samsung ativ se windows 8 phone ... screen lock is on to require password, but on incoming calls its not locked ... how do i lock it for incoming calls too ???? thanks

    Personal rant, why do people write the entire problem in topic line
    It's not possible with Windows Phone 8.  What's the point, a call is coming in and the phone allows you to answer.

  • My iPhone5 is under warranty but during incoming call handset is hang. this problem 2-3 time a day. pleas help.

    My iPhone5 is under warranty but during incoming call handset is hang. this problem 2-3 time a day. pleas help.

    I'm experiencing what is I believe to be the same issue with my iPhone 4, and have been suffering in silence for about a week.
    iPhone 4 model MC603X with Modem Firmware 04.10.01, 16Gb, cheap silicone cover, Vodafone NZ as my carrier.
    My screen locks after 1 minute of inactivity as it should with my settings. Perhaps 1 call in 5, or 1 call in 10, the screen wakes up and displays called ID information etc correctly, but I cannot swipe to answer the call. The touch screen simply fails to respond.
    If I push the power button briefly to silence the ringtone, this does not make a difference. The iPhone has to be locked (and screen turned off), then push a hardware button to wake up the display, and then I can swipe to unlock the device.
    This is only since iOS 4.3 and unfortunately iOS 4.3.1 has not changed this behaviour.
    Any advice appreciated.
    Cheers, Mike

  • I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

    I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
    Problems: Suddenly ALL  incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive)  other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
    Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem  solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
    I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before.  Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • Need help Creating a translation pattern that adds dial out digits to incoming calls

    I came across an article yesterday and it showed the steps how to fix Missed Call/Received Call numbers so that you can dial them from the menu correctly (auto-add a 9, etc.)?
    I tried it this morning and came up with this translation pattern:
    voice translation-rule 6
    rule 1 /^201\(.*\)/ /8\1/
    rule 2 /\(..........\)/ /81\1/
    voice translation-profile filter_Incoming
    translate calling 6
    This translation pattern rule 1 adds the dial out character 8 and strips 201 for local calls. Rule 2 adds dial out character 8 and adds 1 for long distance.  The purpose of this translation rule is when the ephone receives the phone call the characters 8 and 1 are added so when you quickly need to redial you do not have to edit the number and add 8 for each call.
    I tested the translation-rule:
    ROUTER-2911#test voice translation-rule 6 9082121231
    Matched with rule 2
    Original number: 9082121231     Translated number: 819082121231
    Original number type: none      Translated number type: none
    Original number plan: none      Translated number plan: none
    ROUTER-2911#test voice translation-rule 6 2019121231  
    Matched with rule 1
    Original number: 2019121231     Translated number: 89121231
    Original number type: none      Translated number type: none
    Original number plan: none      Translated number plan: none
    ROUTER-2911#
    Issue is I am not sure with my inbound call leg if it can even work. We dial out through the SIP Trunk and the incoming is translated to the AutoAttendant on Cisco Unity Express.
    voice translation-rule 1

    voice translation-profile CUE_Voicemail/AutoAttendant

    dial-peer voice 9 voip
     description **Incoming Call from SIP Trunk**
     translation-profile incoming CUE_Voicemail/AutoAttendant
     call-block translation-profile incoming BLOCKED-INCOMING
     call-block disconnect-cause incoming call-reject
     session protocol sipv2
     session target dns:nd01-04.fs.SIPPROVIDER.net

     voice-class codec 1  
     voice-class sip dtmf-relay force rtp-nte
     dtmf-relay rtp-nte
     no vad
    Can what I am trying to do be done with my current setup?

    Hi patldmart012,
    The dial-peer 9 that you have attached will not be affected by following config
    voice translation-rule 6
    rule 1 /^201\(.*\)/ /8\1/
    rule 2 /\(..........\)/ /81\1/
    voice translation-profile filter_Incoming
    translate calling 6
    Because you have not applied the translation profile "filter_incoming" on the dial-peer.
    Could you please provide the exact call flow?
    Along with that, If you are facing issue with calls on SIP Trunk, please collect following debugs in a logging buffer and attach the file. I will analyse it and will get back to you.
    debug voip ccapi inout
    debug ccsip message
    debug voice translation
    Debug h225 asn1 (If H323 involved)
    Debug h245 asn1 (If H323 involved)
    Debug MGCP Packets (If MGCP involved)
    Also provide the running config of the GW.
    These are verbose debugs, so please collect them in the following manner:
    Router(config)# service sequence
    Router(config)# service timestamps debug datetime msec
    Router(config)# logging buffered 30000000 7
    Router(config)# no logging con
    Router(config)# no logging mon
    Router# Clear log
    Router# term no mon
    <Enable debugs, then wait for issue to occur.>
    Router# term len 0
    <Enable session capture to txt file in terminal program.>
    Router# Undebug all
    Router# sh log
    Once i have the logs, i will analyse it and will get back to you.

  • Show dial pad when answering incoming call

    I need to be able to press '1' after I answer an incoming call (Google Voice call screening). The dial pad doesn't appear on the screen. If anyone has solved this problem, I'd be grateful to hear how you did.

    format the phone. make sure all users from contact list have set their default number. this helped in my case.

  • Dial tone in background when making/receiving a ca...

    Hi all,
    Im having a problem that I dont know how to fix, and hoping you can help.
    The problem happens when I make or recieve a call the broadband disconnects and you can hear the HH3 redialing in the background. When the connection is restored whilst still on the call you can here a static noise. Some times it doesn't re-establish the connection and you can hear it repeatedly dialing. The problem doesn't happen every time and I have just done the quiet line test and it all seems normal. It is a funny one!
    I know what your going to say, check the micro filters. Ive done this, even buying new ones. Still the same problem. I also went to check the connection with my old router a Netgear but that wont even sync. I guess thats BT's way of making you use the HH??
    Im new to BT BB since the 5th of April, I was with TalkTalk before and I didnt have this problem. Also want to state that my connection speed was much better with TalkTalk than BT so that might be a clue. The connection speed establishes itself at about 2.5Mb when it connects and gradualy falls to about 1Mb. Now I know its normal to fall a bit, but by that much really?
    Any help appreciated,

  • Is it possible to use an aux cable to listen to music in your car stereo, but answer incoming calls with the bluetooth headset?

    I can't figure it out.  I have to unplug the aux cable, turn off my bluetooth headset and then turn it back on to answer the call. 

    Yes... simply select the appropriate audio output when answering the call.
    See pages 58 and 59 of the User's Guide.

  • I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

    I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5,  but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • No dial tone/power to master socket but infinity s...

    Monday afternoon we had a phone call on the line to let use know the Sky engineer was on his way to fit a new HD box, we then had a storm hit for around and hour.  At 5pm we went to make a call and our cordless phones (fitted to diy extension) had no dial tone.  We then went and put the phone base station in to the master socket that has the new infinity faceplate on it.  Plugged into the bottom slot and no dial tone  We then went out and purchased a £10 corded phone and plugged into the slot on the master socket, no dial tone and no power being supplied to the hand set to operate memory functions/lights etc etc  Strange thing is Infinity still works fine.
    Called up to log an engineer visit and told that if the fault is found with my wiring it will cost £130 :/ am I right in thinking that everything coming into the house and terminating at the master socket is BT's responsibility ? and the fact that I have had 2 phones hard wired into the master socket as evident that it is the socket or cab thats at fault?
    Just want to check this as every email/phone conversation/text message, keeps saying it will cost me £130 if no fault found or with my wiring.
    And £130 for a call out is a bit steep if there was no fault ! or is that just me?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Engineer has been and gone ! says it is a problem with the Infinity socket, when he takes it off he can get a dial tone but when he puts the face plate back on we lose the dial tone again.  He said he will have to get an Infinity engineer out, could be today but might not, which means Monday or Tuesday
    Does not look good after my last BT experience......
