Is there a phone jack in the box attached to the house? The box is called a NID (Network Interface Device). Plug a phone into that. If it works the problem is between there and your wall jacks. If it doesn't it is the Phone company's problem ... for the FOURTH time in 3 years.Our phone landline went out over a week ago. First available appointment for someone to check is June 9. And that's only to tell us whether it is our problem in the house or their problem on the line. Who knows how long it will take to repair the line once they find it is their problem!
And it is their problem. For the THIRD time in 3 years!
