user_ia11lz Thank you for reaching out for help with your dial tone not working with a new phone. If you are working with our Xfinity home phone services, we can help for sure. Make sure you plug your telephone cord directly into the TEL 1. Once you have that plugged in, you may need to reset the modem for it to be recognized. Have you reset the modem since setting up the new phone?
