Need repair, can't reach a person

LenandMa

I am 88, my wife is 85. We depend on our landline. Our copper wire service is out and I cannot get to a real person on the phone...endless time on hold, then connect to a person in another country who cannot understand my problem. We have a dial tone. We can dial out. We cannot receive any calls. No ring, NOTHING incoming. The **bleep** on the customer service seem to think that since there is a dial tone and I can call OUT there is no problem.

Something is wrong with the copper wire line, even I can tell you that.

How in the heck do we get someone to actually come out to our home to fix it???!!!
