Unable to receive incoming calls on my landline

After I upgraded to the new Xfi Gateway modem, I no longer have the ability to receive incoming calls on my landline.  I can make calls out, but I can no longer receive incoming calls, even the though the phone rings, once I pick up the line there's silence.  The caller is receiving a voice mail message.

I'm having the exact same problem, i called and they still haven't fixed it!!!!

they keep having me reset the modem and that does nothing and for some reason even though I have clearly paid for everything it still says pending activation on both internet and voice...
I get you guys are cheaper then WOW but at lease all of my stuff work, please fix this or give me my [Edited: "Language"] money back!

After upgrading my modem, I have problems with my phone:

1. In bound calls ring, but neither I nor the calling party can hear each other. The calling party receives a message that says that my line is disconnected.

2. I have NO problems making outbound calls from the same phone line.

3. I have reset the modem several times to no effect - DO NOT suggest that, please, It has NO effect!

Hi, @ccdman, thanks for chatting into our forum for help with your inbound call issues and for letting me know what steps you've already taken. You mentioned that you recently upgraded your modem, did you already update and activate your modem on our end? Regarding sending a peer-to-peer chat it would actually be the chat bubble icon in the top right that says "direct message" when you hover over it. However, we'd prefer to stay public as long as possible to help everyone who might be experiencing the same issue.
