If your landline isn't working after restarting the box, the issue could be with the phone line itself, the phone jack, or even a problem with other devices sharing the line like a modem or fax machine; try these steps to troubleshoot:
Basic Checks:
Check connections:
Ensure your phone is securely plugged into the wall jack and that the phone cord is properly connected to both the phone and the jack.
Try a different phone:
Plug a different phone into the same jack to see if the problem persists with the phone itself.
Check for dial tone:
Pick up the phone and listen for a dial tone. If there's no dial tone, the problem is likely with the line itself.
Investigating the Line:
Check other jacks: Try plugging your phone into a different wall jack in your house to see if the issue is with a specific jack.
Check for damage: Look for any visible damage to the phone cord or the wall jack.
Disconnect other devices: If you have a modem or fax machine connected to the same line, unplug them temporarily to see if they are causing interference.

Callers are unable to hear me when they call or I call them. I noticed that Nomorobo is sending the calls to [Edited: "Personal Information"]. could this be why my voice drops after i answer the or make these calls?
I didn't have problems before but it started intermittently a month ago and has gotten to the point that I can't use my phone.
