Telephone line

Hello i have been experienceing troubles with both my internet and phone line for a couple of years now. I have contacted support by phone a number of times but they keep telling me to go to my computer and theres a problem with the router, but i have already been through that. A new router was sent to me by the company and connects to all my devices with full bars but i am experiencing rapid loss of connection and sometimes large amount of static in the phone lines. I have been told to get a booster so the connection isnt lost and it would be more stable so i bought a ethernet cable. The cable works great but i am still experienceing connection trouble everything is set up fine but often i still lose connection rapidly and internet is extremly slow. I went outside and notice the telephone line has wires hanging from the box and ice built up inside the wire harneses. A man was sent up to fix this line from the company about 2 years ago when a tree fell down on it during a storm but all he did was push the wires back in the black box and ducktaped a trash back to hold the wires in and said he will be back to finish but never was. Now the trash bag is of the wires and the live wires are all scattered over the woods below my house. I fear this is a fire hazzard and the company did not take this problem to seriously. I asked support if they could send someone up but they said they wont unless i pay them to fix it! I am not shure what to do at this point i feel that i was paitent enough with the company but they do not seem to care or be very realiable at this point, was thinking about switch to atlantic but not shure all i want is the lines to be fixed.

  • What is the best way to hook up a telephone line to an i- mac so I can receive faxes directly to my computer?

    What is the best way to hook up a telephone line to an i- mac so I can receive faxes directly to my computer?
    I tried usb modems.  They worked ok for 32 bit usb's but Lion only allows 64 bit.  I bought one from Best Buy and it works when it wants to.  Mostly, it doesn't want to!
    Is there a way to connect through a time capsule?

    Thanks for that!! 
    Zoom - 56K V.92 USB Mini External Data/Fax Modem
    I didn't look any further than this.  I bought this at Best Buy and like I said, it works somesimes.  It does not trigger the fax automatically when the phone rings.  You need to have it manually answer.  In the past, I had the 32 bit Apple version of this external USB modem and it worked without issue.

  • Spa3000 or Spa3102 back to back telephone line extension instrucations

                  Ive got a set of spa3000`s and spa3102 and what I want to do is use them just to extend a telephone line about 2 miles and pick it up on the other end and use a anolog phone. I will be using a set of maxstream 900mhz ethernet radios for the ethernet bridge. I have pulled everything from the net that I could find on the configuration but no go on the 3000`s. Most info is written for the 3102`s but it pretty close.  Can someone point me in the right direction on what Iam missing, for instance  you ip both but theres no mention on weather dhcp server should be on or off. Also do I use a straight or cross over cable when tying into my bridges.  Any help would be apprecated. Right as this writing Iam going to unbox the 3102`s and give them a shot but would really like a detailed configuration plan if any one has one
    Thanks  ahead of time

    The steps are basically the same for most Cisco SPA devices. 
    make sure you update the firmware to the latest.
    I don't know about your converters/extenders, but test the extension seperately from the layer 1 connectivity, so you don't have to troubleshoot multiple issues.
    hope it helps,

  • Bt unable to install telephone line in Central eas...

    I placed an order to have broadband installed on the 26th of July. We live in a new building which was completed in April this year, in E1 central East London. Well, after all this time internet has not been installed, and it is getting delayed, month after month, now for the 15th of October.
    The new excuse is that Bt needs to install the line and need to do some work in the street. This work needs to be done now, not 4 or 5 months ago when it should have been done.
    The funny thing is that we have two elevators which, if they are not connected to any emergency telephone line, is against the law. We are going to start conversations with the Tower Hamlets council to raise a case about it.
    I already received the router and the you view device which are happily stored and with no use. The important thing is that BT, of course, took the money for the line rental that I am not using and that is not even installed!
    Thanks Bt, good work, looking forward to have telephone line one day and switch to a different, real provider.

    BT do not provide or maintain the external network. This is done by Openreach who work for all service providers. BT do not get any special treatment.
    You would get the same result with another service provider.

  • Telephone line frequently goes dead, doesn't affec...

    My telephone line frequently drops out, with no diallig tone at all.  If I go to the BT fault checking page and run the test it  reports no fault, but the running of the test appears to 'clear' the line and funcitonality is returned.  This happens once or twice a week for no reason.  I have bought completely new telephone equipment in case this is the fault (Gigaset C620) but this had made no difference.  I have Infinity Broadband and this does not seem to be affected.  I have had similar faults in the past, which can sometimes be 'cleared' by phoning my home number twice, either from a mobile or by VPN from my computer, or using the BT Smarttalk app on my phone.  This is really frustrating and annoying - especially as people say they have tried to phone and had no reply.
    Can anyone hlep please?

    you need to report the no dial tone fault on 151 it needs engineer intervention

We had to use a pocket FiWi which I had to top up £25 for 7GB X 7 times so far..... (my children needs to connect internet for homework, download etc...)
    I asked BT to use BT Wifi but I havn't used BT broadband. That is why they didn't support customer's care.
    I am very very upset... I had to keep paying the pocket wifi until BT fix the line..
    BT doesn't care the costomer's condition at all. Only care the customers who using BT products.

  • Measure voltage on telephone line without adding noise?

    I am using a PCI 6013, and made a voltage divider (two resistors in series - 10MOhm and 1Mohm - so the telephone network doesn't see the additional load) to bring the 40 volt onhook v down to 4 volts for the card to measure (the off hook v will read .5 v down from 5v). I assume I must use the differential configuration to read this value? And how to keep from adding noise to the line?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hmmm, are you making a phone tap?
    I really don't know anything about telephone line specifications and what are the thresholds between noise and signal, but I do know about the DAQ board! Yes, I would say differential is the best configuration for you to use. This is almost a must to help reject the common-mode noise already on the phone line. It will also produce a lot less noise onto the phone line as opposed to referenced single ended mode. I doubt you'll put much noise on the phone line. You could probe the line with a scope with and without your "project" connected to see how it affects it.
    Sounds like fun!

    Hi,
    You may want to move this to the correct forum to get a response!
    You are able to place your router in any location! Fortunately, I am on top of the master socket but with metal-lined walls, I do struggle with Wifi also!

    Thanks.

  • Fixed telephone lines and names

    Hi,
    The recent updates to Skype have wiped all the names from my list of contacts to fixed land lines only. Skype contacts are still shown.
    The telephone numbers are still there but the names have gone. Now I have lots of numbers in my list but don't know how to put a name to the number. When I click on the number it comes up as an unnamed contact.
    Does this mean I have to phone all the numbers one by one to find out who the contact is.

    Hi, dondovaston, and welcome to the Community,
    You report a strange problem that I do not recall having seen previously.   
    Please post back with the details of which version of Skype you are using, and on which computer/operating system and/or device.  I may need to arrange to transfer your post to another message board here in the Community so others using the same system may lend assistance to diagnosing and resolving this.
    Thank you,

  • Telephone line dangeroulsy low pole to pole

    I have a telephone pole between my property and a commercial property, serving both sites,  approximately 250' from the road. The telephone is sagging almost to the ground.  3 years ago I was advised to clean out the hedgerow there so they could pull the line up. Did that no one ever came back. Since then have had two repairmen out for the line and they were to report the problem to the line dispatcher. Nothing done. Early last year a Verizon crew came in unannounced and destrpyed the entire hedgerow buffer between the two properties. I assumed that meant they would at least be fixing the line. No one came out to fix the line so now there is no buffer between the two properties, vines starting to regrow and a line that is almost touching the ground at this point. There is no easy way to contact Verizon and get directed to the line crew dispatch to get this resolved. The line needs to be re-run at this point. We will be replanting that area since their is a deed restriction (which Verizon violated when they cut everything down) that requies the hedgerow not be altered in any way and to keep the buffer maintained between commercial and residential property. Short of cutting the line to get their attention what do I do or who do I call?
    Solved!

  • Telephone line Extensions over Ethernet via SPA112 ?

    I saw a recommendation elsewhere and on this forum suggesting the SPA112 coul be used to extend phone lines (same number) to other rooms over ethernet.
    Here is what I want to do:
    I have exsiting IP based phone service provided by a company called Talkit (Canada). Talkit provided at Grandstream Handytone 286 ATA and I connected a cordless Nortel analog phone to it. Works ok.
    Now I want to put an extension of the same phone number into another room. I purchased two SPA112s to try to do this. I have established ethernet connectivity and I can see and configure both units.
    I connetced one unit to the phone line that runs from the Handytone ATA to my analog phone to one SPA112 and a second old analog phone in the second room to the second SPA112.
    I made the following config changes:
    I upagraded the FW to the latest version on both SPA112 units.
    I set
    Register to No
    Use OB proxy to No
    Make calls wo reg to Yes
    Ans call w/o reg to Yes.
    I was able ot get a dial tone on the second phone but when I dialed out to my cell phone I geta busy signal.
    Another issue is that the SPA112 connected to the Handytone ATA seems to stay OFF Hook.
    Please advise... or point to a document where I can read about how to set these up.
    I am assuming that I do not need to register the spa112s to my service provider proxy bu that rather that two spa112s will simply pass the incoming and outgoing calls thru.
    John

    John,
    Both the Grandstream Handytone and the SPA112 are what are called "ATA" devices. "ATA" stands for Analogue Terminal (or in some literature, Telephone) Adapter. That's to say that an ATA device converts from an IP-based voice connection to an analogue voice connection.
    The port that you connect your cordless phone to on the Grandstream ATA is, technically, referred to as an FXS port. An FXS port provides dial tone and battery voltage on an analogue line. The compliment to an FXS port, is an FXO port, which expects to have dial tone and battery voltage provided to it. Both the Handytone and the SPA112 have only FXS ports, so they all provide dial tone and battery, and thus are not compatible to be connected directly together.
    You would need a device (such as the previously mentioned SPA3102) which features an FXO port on one end of the ethernet connection, and one of your SPA112 ATA's on the other end of the ethernet connection.
    If I'm understanding what it is you're trying to accomplish correctly (and I believe I do), there are a couple suggestions I would make.
    First off, you can contact TalkIt, and explain that you wish to configure your own ATA device with their service, in addition to the one they provided you. They would need to provide you the SIP proxy and credential information for your phone accounts with them. You would then need to program that information into the SPA112 that is in the second room. As long as that SPA112 can get internet connectivity, it should be able to register with their call server, and you should be able to make and receive calls at the same number as the Handytone ATA, providing TalkIt will allow multiple registrations to the same account.
    Secondly, you can contact TalkIt, and explain that you wish to have them provide you an additional ATA configured with the same users / phone numbers as your current unit. Some providers are less prone to provide you with the information required to configure your own device, but they may be open to you purchasing / renting an additional unit that they provide, and configuring it in such a way that it shares the same number as the original ATA device they provided you with.
    Thirdly, you can purchase a SIP Gateway device, such as the SPA3102, which would provide an FXO port which you could connect to the FXS port of the Handytone ATA device, and then configure one of your SPA112's to make an IP connection to the SPA3102, and connect an analogue line to that SPA112.
    If you're not overly familliar with IP Telephony, I'd probably recommend getting a second ATA from TalkIt, as it would come preconfigured, and you would only have to plug it in for it to work. If they're willing to provide you with the SIP information, you may be able to configure one of the SPA112's that you already have, and just use that to connect to their service. This would probably be the least expensive option, but would require you to perform the configuration of the additional ATA device yourself. The third option, which most closely resembles your initial request, would not involve TalkIt, however it would involve purchasing the additional SIP Gateway device, as well as perform all of the configuration yourself. I, personally, have not configured a SIP Gateway device before, so I don't know exactly how involved that configuration is. Configuring the SPA112 shouldn't be too bad, but again, I've never configured it in exactly the way you're describing, so I can't say for sure. I've only ever used them to connect to a full IP PBX, or else a Hosted service, similar to the TalkIT provided Handytone unit.
    Hope this provides a little direction, and wasn't too confusing.

  • How to wire up a bt telephone line cord?

    The damaged line cord on my BT Relate 2100 has a RJ11 on one end and (I think) a BT431A plug on the other end. It is a 3 core cord (Yellow / Red / Black) and I need to know if I can get a new cord that is the same 3 core. I bought one from ebay and then found it was only 2 core and it didn't work. 
    I have a repair kit that will attach a BT431A plug to my old cord but I don't know which of the colour wires attaches where on the 431A plug end.
    Thanks for any help......

    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calender then below you will find Signature and change it to your signature. You can use scanner on printer to sync to computer so computer can sync it to iphone.

  • Radio stations audible on telephone line

    Have had phone service (landline) with Verizon at this same location for years, and  was working well until about one month ago, when Internet connection was lost, followed by telephone box not receiving power. Repairman replaced external boxes and phone box/battery, and now we are receiving what sounds like several radio stations when trying to use the phone. Callers do not hear this. Makes placing calls very unpleasant and almost inaudible.

    Just a friendly reminder, this is a forum where users help other users. If you are having an issue with your Verizon service, you can use the Verizon Troubleshooter to fix and report issues with your Verizon Phone, FiOS TV, or Internet Service, as well as to schedule a repair, here is the link:
