I believe he did and he does. Take it from someone else who had previously mixed up relevant statements.Someone in this thread suggested plugging your phone into the Gateway. That is a valid test. If you get dial tone there then it's a wire issue, if you still do not get dial tone, then the problem is the Gateway.
Ah, okay. Sorry I missed that part...I believe he did and he does. Take it from someone else who had previously mixed up relevant statements.
Not a bad idea at all...Assuming that your phone wiring is corroded and/or rodent compromised and you can't really get to it to for repairs, you may want to just get a power outlet phone jack extender. You connect the "transmitter" to your gateway and plug it into a power outlet, then plug the "receiver" into a power outlet and connect it to your phone/FAX. It's about $100, but that's probably cheaper than hiring somebody to run new phone wiring.
Almost all home phone cables are at least 4 wires, but phones only use two wires. Can you try switching over to the other pair of wires in the same cable? Maybe the mouse only ate one wire... blue tastes the best.Well, yeah, it must be the wire.
Yeah, that's a thought. Thanks!Almost all home phone cables are at least 4 wires, but phones only use two wires. Can you try switching over to the other pair of wires in the same cable? Maybe the mouse only ate one wire... blue tastes the best.
Naw, I just gave up and put the base unit in my office, connected directly to the modem. So I still have my land line. If I can get a Round Tuit, I may run a new line. But there are much higher things on the Honeydew list! And then there are rockets...!Oh, this thread woke up again. I’m dying to know how the story ended Tom. Did you just give up on having a land line? Did you get the right wires connected only to have the phone immediately start ringing with extended car warranty offers? Did you touch the phone wires to your tongue to test them and now you have curly hair?
