go and check yourself. open the box labeled "telephone." there should be 1 or 2 phone jacks in there. if they don't have a dial tone, open the part that says "access by phone company only" or something to that effect. There is where the wires come in off the street and into your home. make sure they're connected. get a phone handset and put alligator clips on it (do a google search for "beige box" for more information on that) and it makes it easier to check the lines.
