I've got no dial phone, land line is dead, but internet (DSL) is fine.

I've jumped through the Verizon hoops, disconnected ALL phones and Internet jack, but still no go. I had to call them a whole bunch of times as my cell phone service in the house is iffy, and the call kept dropping. I gave them my cell number, however they advise me they can't call back...they are a call center and don't call out.

They tell me there is a signal to the house, (I guess that's true since internet is working), but no phones. Rick will check the interface box in the house later on...

I did book a tech visit for Wednesday, and of course, I got the, "It could be your equipment and if we find the problem is in your equipment, you will be charged for the visit"..... I really don't think all my phones died last night.....the wind was blowing, maybe just maybe there is another issue outside?

Maybe I should get my phone service from those nice people at ComCast?

 

comcast FTW

all the phones dead?

did you remove the dsl filters per chance?

do you have a corded phone you could use to test the lines

 

Yep, all dead...Haven't messed with any filters.

I even have one old fashioned phone, if any were going to work, that one would. At one point, that was the only one I left plugged in. This will be Rick's job later on. At least I won't get any more political recordings tonight. Martha and that other guy are getting annoying.

sounds like a problem outside

 

Given last night's weather I would agree. We didn't have any rainstorms or wind gusts in the basement where that other box is.

At least I have internet. I can be in touch with only those that I choose.

 

Back in business. I TOLD them our phones were fine. A little while ago the phone just rang.....must have been something in the lines. No one there, just static.

DSL was acting weird for a bit, and for the first time EVA, I got the evil BLUE screen and a fatal error from my computer.....WTF was that about?

All seems well now.
