Phone trouble. I have a Uniden corded phone that came with 2 cordless as a set. The phones themselves aren't dead because I can still access the numbers stored and check past messages. But I can't get a connection. I thought it was the phones because I still have internet access, high speed not dial up. Can't think of the right term right now, but it goes through my phone line but does not actually tie up my phone so I can still make calls and be on line at the same time. Can my phone line be out but I still have internet? Went out and bought new phones today and it's still dead. Anybody have any ideas before I call the phone company?
I was going to ask on FB but decided if the answer is really obvious making me look totally dense, I'd rather it be here with my SM family.:blush:
UPDATE
WooHoo!! I have my phones back!! My poor mom had to come to my house early this morning and just sit there waiting for the phone guy to come. The phone company ran some kind of a test on 'their end' that told them the problem was inside the house. Well....weren't they surprised to find out that it was outside the house. :HistericalSmiley: Guess the wire had broken in half. I find that a bit odd since the house is not even 5 years old yet. Oh well. I have phones again and I didn't even have to see that look of 'lady this was soooo obvious, you must be a total ditz'. :smheat:
