Basic tips for no dial tone or static:
-
Check connections: Verify all phone cords are firmly plugged into both the phone and wall jack.
-
Test with another phone: Plug a different phone into the same jack to see if the issue is with the phone itself.
-
Check for damage: Look for any visible damage to the phone cords.
-
Cordless phone battery: Replace the batteries in your cordless phone if they are low. ​

Landline issues vs phone system issues:
A "landline issue" refers specifically to problems with the physical phone line connecting your home or business to the telephone network, usually involving damaged wires, loose connections, or issues with the telephone pole, while a "phone system issue" can encompass broader problems with any type of phone system, including landlines, but also including issues with the functionality of a phone system itself, like call forwarding, voicemail, or problems with a VoIP system due to internet connectivity.​
