Troubleshooting your Digital Home Phone Service

Slide1.JPGSlide2.JPG

  • Check that all cords and wires are secure and damage-free.
  • If you have more than one telephone in the home, try another handset to see if you get a dial tone.
  • Restart your Wi-Fi gateway by removing the power cord for ten seconds, and then plug it back.
  • Plug your phone directly into the back of the Wi-Fi gateway, as shown in the picture below, to see if any possible issues with the inside wiring.

  • Check for dial tone
  • Check voice features and make sure call forwarding/blocking is not enabled
  • Check the call logs to see if the calls are making it through.

  • If yes: check the wiring. Test with a phone plugged directly into the back of the gateway. Test with click to call.
    • Login on att.com,
    • Select U-verse Voice and go to Voice Features
    • Go to “Make a Call,” put a phone number in and select “Call”
    • Select Place Call when the window pops up
    • Do this 3 times
  • If no: reset your gateway

It is constant to lose connection with my UVerse home phone Message appear CHECK TELEPHONE LINE or LINE IN USE.  I have tried different ways, a technician came to fix it, calls to customer service, through facebook UVerse and problem persist. 

What is the advantage of monthly payments for home wiring protection, when nobody solves the problem

I have U-Verse Internet and phone service. When I hear the phone ring, I lift the receiver and hear a phone sound but no speaker, and then I get a busy signal.
