This is very strange. It started today.
My mom phoned me on my cell phone because she said our home phone was ringing off the hook. I thought my toddler had turned off the "answer" on our phone system. He didn't.
We have a cordless system with 3 handsets because we don't have jacks in every room.
Each cordless phone has a dial tone and I am able to make outgoing calls. However, when I called our home number from my cell phone, all I heard was a phone ringing, but nothing was happening on the cordless.
I then repeated the test with a corded phone. Same thing.
Then I went outside to our Verizon phone box and tested with the corded phone. Same thing.
Finally, I walked over to our neighbor and tested the corded phone there, with my cell phone, to make sure it rings and actually receives incoming calls. Hallejuah, my corded phone was working at my next door neighbor's house.
So what does this mean? Is there a line problem inside our house or outside?
Anyone else experience anything similar?
Thanks.
