Is your Home Phone connected correctly?

• A standard Home Phone setup is a corded or cordless telephone handset connected to a telephone wall socket in your home.
• Please check that all cables are in good working order
• If you have an ADSL service, make sure you have installed ADSL filters on all phone sockets in use.

Still not working?

Step 1 – Perform Isolation Test

Disconnect all devices connected to the phone lines and sockets:

All other handsets

• Fax Machines
• Answering Machines
• ADSL/Dial-Up Modems
• ADSL Filters
• Splitters
• Back to Base Alarm**
• Foxtel or any other set-top box

** remove only if it can be done safely

Once all devices are removed, connect 1 telephone handset to the phone socket and check for dial tone.

If using a cordless phone, please make sure that the batteries are fully charged.

Step 2 - Check all alternate phone sockets

If it doesn't work, check all other phone sockets in the premises. Connect a phone and check for a dial tone.

Test all the sockets in your premises. Connect your telephone handset to another phone socket in the house and test for dial tone. Repeat this process for each telephone socket in your house.

Step 3 - Try an alternate phone cable

If it still doesn't work, check the phone cable. Get a working phone cable and test again.

Step 4 - Try an alternate handset

Your phone handset may have become faulty, if possible, test an alternate handset to see if your phone has failed.

There are many types of noise that can interfere with your home telephone service. The most common is static, crackling, buzzing and humming. In rare cases you may be able to hear another person’s telephone conversation; this is known as a crossed line fault. These faults can be caused by customer premises equipment (known as CPE) or by a physical line fault outside the property. We will need to perform a few troubleshooting steps to determine the cause of the fault.

Is your Home Phone connected correctly?

• A standard Home Phone setup is a corded or cordless telephone handset connected to a telephone wall socket in your home.
• Please check that all cables are in good working order
• If you have an ADSL service, make sure you have installed ADSL filters on all phone sockets in use.

Do you only notice noise on the line when you are too far from your cordless base station? Some Cordless phones will have noise on the line when the signal becomes too weak. If you know this happens, try moving closer to the base station.

Step 1 - Perform Isolation Test

Disconnect all devices connected to the phone lines and sockets:

• All other handsets
• Fax Machines
• Answering Machines
• ADSL/Dial-Up Modems
• ADSL Filters • Splitters
• Back to Base Alarm**
• Foxtel or any other set-top box           
  
  ** remove only if it can be done safely Once all devices are removed, connect one telephone handset directly to the phone socket and check if the noise still persists.

Step 2 - Check all alternate phone sockets

1. Please connect your telephone handset to another phone socket in the house and test if a dial tone is present. Repeat this process for each telephone socket in your home.

2. If the fault is evident on one socket but not another, the fault will likely be an internal wiring fault. You may need to have this checked by a qualified telecommunications electrician.

Step 3 - Try an alternate phone cable

If it still doesn't work, check the phone cable. Get a working phone cable and test again.

Step 4 - Try an alternate handset

Your phone handset may have become faulty, if possible, test an alternate handset to see if your phone has failed.
