No dial tone on your phone? We'll tell you what to do.

Try This First

If you're experiencing trouble with your phone service (such as you don't have a dial tone or you can't break it), please check to make sure all phones are on the hook and that cordless phone batteries are charged.

Still Having Issues?

Please follow the suggestions below to try and restore service:

• Try to plug a working corded phone into different jacks to find out if the issue is isolated to one phone or jack.
• Plug the phone directly into your Xfinity Voice modem to determine if the issue may be related to the wiring inside your home.
• If you have two phone numbers with Xfinity Voice service, and only one is working, please contact us.
• Check the lights on your digital voice modem. Depending on the light sequence displaying, you may need to reset your modem.

• Try plugging your phone line directly into your Xfinity Voice modem. Find the port behind the device and plug your phone line directly into Tel 1, as pictured below. If this fixed your issue, tap Yes.
  
• Then, check if you can hear a dial tone on your Xfinity Voice line, which would indicate home wiring issues. If so, tap Yes again.
