Recently had xfinity installed, but have never gotten a dial tone

Yesterday a technician came by and added xfinity internet and telephone service, however I didn't check to make sure the telephone was working. I have not gotten a dial tone since xfinity telephone service was installed. I feel like either he or I missed something during the installation.

user_aix2el I would be wondering the same if I were in your shoes too. Our team is happy to help. Have you or are you able to confirm that your phone jack is plugged into the back of the modem in Tel 1 location?

Yes, phone is plugged in to one of the two telephone jacks - I have tried both. I have restarted the modem, and neither helped. I did not notice they were numbered, but now that I do I checked and it is in the tel 1 jack.
