I have no dial tone on my telephone line
Answer: This can be caused by a number of issues other than a fault on the line. You can perform
some quick basic checks youtself which may resolve the issue and prevent an unnecessary engineer
visit and charges. Cordless handsets - If you have a cordless phone, please check that it is fully
charged. Handsets - Make sure that all phones connected to the line are on the hook and that all
of the cables are plugged in securely. If you only have the problem with one handset on the line,
it is likely that the handset iteself is faulty rather than the telephone line. Keep the handset
unplugged and try a different handset in the socket. If this works, this shows that there is a
problem wth the handset. Wiring - It may be possible that there is a problem with the wiring to
extensions in your property, for this reason you should unplug any extensions and test the line
from the master socket (this is usually located where the line enters the building). If it works
from the master socket, then there is a problem with your internal wiring. If you telephone
system and wiring is maintained by Pace Telecom, please contact us on 08001955115 or raise an
internal ticket on your account.

micro-filter can result in interference and noise on the line. If you would like to order one
please contact us on 08001955115 or alternatively you can raise an internal ticket for us to deal
with on your account. Are all handsets affected - If the noise only occurs on one phone, it is
likely that there is a fault on the handset. Keep this handset unplugged and try another handset
