Telephone Problem! NEED HELP PLEASE!.................
 

ok so basically there is a red light on the main phone that goes on when someone is talking on the phone

right now its still on and noone is on the phone

i tried disconnecting all the phone lines and putting them back in and it still says there is someone on the phone....

does anyone know what to do? :helpme :helpme :helpme

i also called my "psp" and they said to disconnect the lines too......

haha, you sure the phone switch inside the phone isnt fucked lol can you get incoming calls?

Hit the light with a hammer.... light out :glugglug

no its not, also i have the flash service so i can hold two calls at the same time..

and i called my house with a cellphone and it goes straight to the answering machine

is there another phone in your house that may be off the hook?

sounds like a no dial tone situation for that instrument . . . have you tried plugging into a different jack?

I am guessing it is a multi-line phone (2 at least) and you have no dial tone coming to that jack on that line

The call is coming from inside the house

nope, i checked all the phones........

and when i check the line its just sounds of nothingness.......:helpme

good! now you wont call the 1900 numbers and waist your cash ;)

You have a short on that line then. Now you need to find out if the short is onside or out . . . . unplug all phones and call the number, if it goes straight to the answer machine . . you have a short.

However, let's clear this up first . . . when you say answer machine, do you mean voice mail, or do you really have an answering machine?

hm, i will try that but tomorrow because its 1AM now :1orglaugh

the answering machine is voicemail yeah, who has an actual answering machine now anyways? :upsidedow

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh im proud to say i havnt called a phone sex line for 2 and a half weeks :upsidedow

that was too easy i went the alternate route....:tongue:

Well, you are the one that called it an answer machine, not me . . . anyway, with 30+ years experience in telefony trouble shooting I can assure you that you definitely have a short on that line.

A phone being off the hook puts a short on the line, so if you unplug everything . . . phones, modems, whatever . . from ALL phone jacks and it goes straight to VoiceMail (VMS), you have a short.

Now, on the outside of your house should be a box that the phone lines come to. There should be a small connector that looks like a phone cord that you would plug into your jack.

Unplug them (going on the presumption that you have 2 lines, and easier to unplug all that to try and teach you how to determine which is for line 1 and which is line 2). Call your number again. If it does not go straight to VMS then the trouble is inside your house. If it still goes straight to VMS the trouble is outside and you will need to call the phone company to fix it.

thanks for your help baddog, going to try that tomorrow :thumbsup

simple, yet effective.

Dude, I've been trying to call you for hours.. where are you??!!:1orglaugh

He's in Canada, it probably froze.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

did you determine if the trouble was inside or out?

Or did you just smash it?

only because I dont accept epass.... :thumbsup

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

im working on that right now :thumbsup

well then i guess your missing out on money, it doesnt make sence not to accept epass :Oh crap

so did you figure out the problem yet?

and with the two line issue, isn't the first line the green and red wires while line 2 is the black and yellow wires?

Yes . . . if you have old wiring with that color code system in place. It could also be blue/white for 1 and orange/white for 2.

Or, if at some time in the past line 1 was put on the second pair, and line two had to be put on the first . . . or the 3rd or 4th.

Cool baddog

Here's to phone phreaks! :)

i finally fixed the problem, it was a faulty line that had coke spilt on it :\

so i just replaced that line and everything works now :)

All your phone lines are belong to Coke.

Doh.... :error :error
