Phone picks up radio station

[DanSinHull]

I live in Hull, and just recently my phone has started to pick up WBZ at a level such that I am unable to use the phone. WBZ sent me an inline rfi phone filter, but it doesn't help.

I don't want to have to rewire my house. Does anyone have any practical solutions to this problem?

Thanks

You can try using a different telephone. Some telephones can hear radio stations much easier than others. You can also try experimenting with different lengths of phone cords. Flat wire acts like an antenna. You can have Verizon install radio noise suppressors at the telephone and a rfi filter outside where the line enters your home.
