No landline phone service at all

psychopomp

This is primarily directed to a Verizon support agent who may be watching the forums.

I haven't had landline service for a month, give or take. I only found out when friends and business associates tried calling and made me aware that I had no phone service. They would get one ring and then static on the line. I could make outgoing phone calls with said heavy static on the line.

I called Verizon support last week (4/1), made them aware of the problem and they indicated it was a problem at the switch station a block from my home. They said a repair crew will be there tomorrow (4/2) to check out the problem.

Following day, my phone line is now completely dead. No dial tone or outgoing or incoming calls. DSL still works fine. My telephones LCD screen reads "Check telephone line."

Since I don't have a cell phone and only have a landline, and Verizon's website appears to give absolutely no options to contact via email or live chat, posting here is the only option I have to resolve this issue.

I don't want the constant usual pitch and salesman pressures to get me to switch to FIOS. I will do this on my own time, if at all. I simply want my phone fixed and a credit/refund for services not rendered.

Hi psychopomp,
