Noise on home phone(landline) every so often and poor dial up service

why can't verizon be better service providers and take the time to give you better phone service
i have to report the same problem every few weeks and the problem is never fixed for more than
2 days. can't report problems at home due to the poor dial up service and poor phone lines
also get told that dsl is available by one person and then someone else tells you no.
i have no other options to either problem and that is probably why i get poor service

welcome to the forum
openreach won't replace your line unless necessary so you need to keep reporting the fault to 151 and getting an engineer visit - surely they must from your description hear the noise on your line

The screen is black . i can.t get it to respond.Power + home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn't ring/screen did not light up. Its a iphone 4. Any ideas how to fix this?

If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

Can i use my ipad2/iphone or touch to interface with a home phone landline?

My house phone has broken and i was wondering if there is a docking device that can be interfaced with one of my apple products to make it utilise my landline.

If you have an iPad, you're more than welcome to get a VoIP client (Google Voice, anyone?) which will let you make calls...and as we all know, iPhones can make calls.
Home phones are getting cheaper and cheaper, so I don't see why you couldn't just fix the home phone for ~$20.
Now, if you wanted to ditch your landline and make your iPhone act like a landline, I'd check this dock out: http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/29/desk-phone-dock-review/

LOCAL CALLING AREA FOR HOME PHONE (landline)

Verizon has not resolved my issue with my ability to call ONE of my LOCAL CALLING AREAS. They have passed me NUMEROUS times over and over to many different problems and have not resolved anything. They say they cannot hold on the line while they wait for a supervisor, I keep hearing i will be called back, and do not get any calls back. They "say" they are working with me and a supervisor, and yet still nothing. I contacted the Local Access Transport Area (LATA) and have been told that the numbers I am trying to reach ARE local. Also, I have NEVER had any problems reaching these numbers in the past and ALL OF A SUDDEN 1 out of the 7 local calling areas I cannot call. The local calling area HAS NOT changed and never will according to LATA. One of the reps had the nerve to tell me that another of the "local calling areas" I have is regional, so I had to burst her lil "tell me anything to shut me up" bubble, that she was not gonna feed me that line of **bleep** seeing how I just got off the phone with someone in that area. Verizon seems to be feeding me a lot of **bleep** to try and silence me or so they dont have to try and figure this out. (cause apparently they cant) I have been dealing with this for over a week, many Reps, many repair techs and NOTHING. The repair Techs (automated recording) calls me back and says We cannot find the problem but your line is working properly. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! DUH! NOW, I have no choice but to contact Consumer Affairs and file a complaint, and I have also been advised to contact the BBB and local television station so that they can run a story. WHAT TO DO NOW!!!

Hi GimmieDps,
I'm sorry you are having difficulty with your calls from home. I have escalated your concern and an agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information or to help you resolve your issue.

My Firefox freezes every so often and when it freezes, it stays frozen for a half hour or so. No matter how many times I quit and restart it, it still freezes as soon as it opens up and I can't click anything except the quit button. Why?

I am on FF and it suddenly freezes. The window says that it is not responding and it doesn't start to respond again. So I quit and open it up again. It loads all the basic images and then freezes again and stops responding. I try over and over again to quit and restart it, but it never responds and I have to swith over to using Internet Explorer when FF does not respond. Why does it do this?

Thank you so much!
I didn't think the first page would help me because I could still add, delete and edit my bookmarks, then restart the browser and it would've saved the changes. Also, I didn't think the second page would help me because my browser didn't have any of the symptoms listed. The problem I had wasn't with adding, deleting, or editing the bookmarks. I simply couldn't organize my bookmarks in a certain folder because the bookmarks would jump around when I tried to move them. However, I looked down the second link's page and found a section titled "Problems limited to bookmarks". I did what the first sentence told me to and it allowed me to FINALLY organize that folder!
Thanks again!

IPhone Home Phone Dock and Usage

I am sure this has been asked before but I can't find any reference. I would like to get rid of my home phone landline. However I don't want to have to carry my iPhone around the house all the time. Is there a system that has a dock I can plug my iPhone into that would then relay calls to handsets located throughout the house just as is done today with my landline? Thanks for the help.

There are a number of devices that will do this, most work quite well. You dock your cell phone, and if a call comes in you can answer on any phone in the house. The biggest problem is finding one that will dock an iphone...just about every phone mfg. uses different types of connectors, thus your biggest problem is finding one that works with iphone. Google & patience are your friends here.

Using home phone for Skype

can I use a home phone(landline) to make and recieve calls from mobiles or landlines? I do not want to use the computer all the time to make calls. I want my daughter to be able to call friends and family with a basic home phone.
Thank you

Here is a different but excellent solution. My internet router contains a built-in facility that allows it to 'log in' to any internet phone number (not just Skype), and calls ring on a standard DECT cordless handset (or a wired telephone). Does same for outgoing calls as well. It's very versatile.
Skype will rent you an internet phone number (but not cheap) but I suggest using a service from http://www.localphone.com/?rb=sN5bXhfv1nxSJQl6oRD9K30iNkAOCq6vKbL9cuLDf_E . Their internet phone numbers are free; dialing to any country is cheap; and you can rent a dial-in number in many countries for about $1 per month. Forwarding to the internet phone number is free, as is the router picking up the call. As the people whoi call me have free calls to my number, the only cost is the $1 monthly line rental. EXCELLENT!
My router is a German-made Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7390, but many of their other models have similar functionality (7490, 7360, 7330, 7272 - look for logos for 'DECT' and 'Telefonie' at http://avm.de/produkte/fritzbox/ . You can order from Amazon (DE, CO.UK or COM at least)

220v skype home phone?

I currently live in Europe and just ordered the 31591GE1 phone for my house. There was mixed data on if the voltage transformer/adaptor would operate on 220V. Now that I have received it, I can clearly read it is 110v only. Is there a Skype cordless home phone that is 220v ready and is comperable to the 31591GE1?

I updated my software to iOS6 and now my phone won't automatically join known wifi networks even though I have it on. It goes back to 3G every so often when I'm at home instead of using wifi, and each time I ask to join it asks for my wifi password

Try this for your home Wi-Fi:
On your iPhone, Settings > Wi-Fi > select your home network > "forget this network"
Power down (unplug) your wireless router
Restart your iPhone
Plug in your router
Re-join that network
I don't know if this simple technique will fix it for good but try it. There is a long thread about this problem here: iOS 6 WiFi Disabled

Anyone know how to get your landline home phone to ring when your cell phone rings...I have no cell service in my house!

When you are on your way home, you can forward your calls to your home phone. Cancel forwarding when you get to an area with service.
*72-xxx-xxx-xxxx with the x's being your home phone #.
*73 to cancel.
You can also do this with Google Voice.

So i dropped my iphone 4 in class and the screen is cracked. it wont turn on so i went home and connected it into my itunes and the phone just keeps beeping like every ten seconds and the phone lights up just a little. What does this all mean?

It means you should take it to the Genius Bar. You will no doubt need to buy an out of warranty replacement.

Why do you insist in calling my home phone EVERY hour to complete a survey!

I have been interrupted on no less than 3 conference calls while working from home today. I even called and politely asked that I stop receiving them but received ANOTHER interruption. I am happy to complete a survey but not during my work day and there is ABSOLUTELY no need to call every hour!!!! Maybe once per day!

practicalnurse,
Have no fear, Verizon is here. I would love to go over the account with you to figure out what happened? Was this for Verizon Wireless services or for your home services? I did request to follow you. Can you please accept that request and request to follow me back. Then once we are following each other you can send me a Direct Message: http://vz.to/1fbIKzK Please keep us posted.

I have a wireless home phone connect device. Can call out on it when dial tone present, but most times cannot receive calls since purchase. Anyone else having a problem with their home connect device?

Have had Wireless Home Phone connect device refreshed and updated three times since I purchased it in September 2014. Last tech I worked with on it initialized an NRB to check the network. I checked the location of the tower, which is less than one mile up the hill with clear line of site. The device always has two antennas on it. The device is great when it does work, but most of the time it rings three times and then jumps to an automated message saying the person I am calling is not available. I've actually gone up there several times to try an fix the device, but always end up calling a Verizon tech who has me unplug it, pull the battery, and they do some network stuff and then we turn it back on and it works. After the last time on 10/02/14, I called it and got the message. I drove up there, 100 miles one way, and called it while standing in the room. Got the same message. I picked up the phone, heard a dial tone and dialed my phone and it range through. I hung that phone connected to the device and call it using my cell phone. It rang through. I went home and tried to call it the next day. Again it did not ring through and I got the message after three rings. I call another phone at the facility and had them call me on my mom's phone and it is fixed it again. The fix last for a day or two and then it's broken again, like it is today. If it's a network problem then it must be fairly close to the area because no matter what we do it fails again. So much for the 99.98% reliable. This thing is a piece of junk!
I purchased this device and put it on my plan so that my mother who we placed in a home at 96 years old would have a phone connection that she could use and wouldn't flip her out. My family and her family has not been able to faithfully connect with her at this critical time in her life. I am giving Verizon 10 more days to figure this out and then I am going to ask for a total refund not to mention how much time and travel I have put into this piece of junk. Either the home connect transceiver is broken or the network is broken. Why should I pay close to $70 for a service that has not worked more than several days out of 35 days? Also I have spent close to three hours on the phone with decent technical people, but it's my time. I should send Verizon a bill for every time I have gone up there to fix this device as well.
What perplexes me is that a regular cell phone would have sufficed, but because Verizon has to have a data connection that is not available on a regular phone and it was going to cost me $30/month, I decided to go with the home connect. Seemed like a nice solution for an older person who would have a hard time using a cell phone and keeping it charged. Plus after all the fees for getting it connected, it only cost $20/month. That would be a pretty good thing, IF IT WORKED....... The other thing that irks me is, why do I have to pay for a data connection when the cell phone Verizon originally provided can't even access the network. What ever happened to adding a phone line for $10 bucks\ month? All I wanted was a simple phone. She would not be able to use anything more complex and all she needs is a phone line period.
I have no problem paying for something that works and does what it should, but this is ridiculousness. The MTF on this device is somewhere around 1 to 2 days. Out of 365 days that's about a 96.5% failure rate....... Want my advice? Get ride of this device. It sucks and it's bad marketing.

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.

The FREETALK Connect•Me Home Phone Adapter for Sky...

Hi all,
I am seriously considering dropping my landline since I mostly if not only uses my iPhone as my primary device for calls. The problem I have is an alarm system is connected to my land line and requires a way to call the alarm centre in case of an emergency.
I talk to my alarm service provider for an alternative. They already have the cellular option, but it adds $12/m which is not a big saving... They are working on finding an IP/Internet solution, but it will be also a $4/m.
I was wondering if I could use the FREETALK Connect•Me Home Phone Adapter for Skype as a solution. From a computer I can call any 1-800 numbers for free, and I really suspect that the alarm centre is a toll free number too. So in theory it could work.
Can anyone share their experience with the device and suggest if my solution can work or not?
Thanks

I use that adapter in my house, it works just as a normal landline would. There is a slightly longer predial delay when initiating a call (approx 3 second Skype dialing noise), beyond that no real difference. If the box doesn't lock up, or your Internet doesn't go down it should be rather reliable as a replacement. Those are worst-case scenarios and I generally don't find myself having to do anything to maintain it. In any case I have it connected to a power surge strip like I do the rest of my equipment. Should I need to reset it, I just toggle the switch.
