No dial tone after installing new gateway

Wifi and TV work fine.  No dial tone on phone.  Phone was working fine before installing the new gateway.  Rebooted gateway numerous times.  Called "Customer Service".  System said a reboot was in progress, and I should call back after 10 minutes.  Reboot happened six hours ago!!  I can't get through the automated "Customer Service" firewall to get help.  Need a live person to talk with me to get this resolved.

Solved! Go to xfinity online and start a chat with xfinity assistant. Enter " want to talk with a human agent about xfinity voice" into the chat.  You may need to ask a couple of times before getting an agent.  Enter this into the chat with the human agent "I plugged in the new router that was sent to me and now my phone won't get a dial tone. I've been told I need my router REPROVISIONED so the phone number would be programmed into the router"

They should be able to help you.  Phone support is useless.  They will just tell you that you need a technician to come out and fix it.
