Unable to receive incoming voice calls on my landline

Whenever we receive incoming calls, the phone rings but when we answer, the calling party cannot hear us. They say they cab only hear our phone ringing but no pickup.

Hey @dma723,

Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. I would be more than happy to assist with any issues you may be experiencing with the Xfinity Voice services.

Would you be able to let me know if you are able to let me know if you are able to make successful outbound calls without issue?

When someone calls you, are they able to successfully leave a voicemail without issue or are they unable to reach the voicemail mailbox?

This information will be tremendously helpful in helping diagnose and troubleshooting the issues with the Xfinity Voice service.

WE are able to successfully make outbound calls.

When someone calls, they hear the landline phone ringing but is not picking up or going to voicemail. . Message would say “ The wireless caller you are trying top reach is not available at this time."

@dma723 We are having the exact same problem. It started after we upgraded our router. Did you find a fix for it?

Hello user_mozqy1. Please make sure the telephone line is plugged into the back of the modem where it says "tel1". This is the phone port and must be fully pushed in.

Was this issue resolved? My mother’s phone does the same thing. She can’t answer incoming calls but can call out and anyone that calls her gets the “This person is not available” message.

Move the phone cable to the jack on the gateway labeled 1 and the problem should resolve. Moved it back to the jack labeled 2 and problem returned. So, need to use jack 1. Very hard to see the labels - so have to angle it to get the light to reflect off the back of the gateway just right to see the 1 and 2 labels.
