Introduction

Resolution Steps

 

I hear beeps when I pick up the receiver on my phone; I can dial out:

 

 

  • When a message is waiting, voice mail provides a series of beeping tones known as stutter dial tone
     
  • For voice mail instructions, go to wavebroadband.com/support 

    • Click on arrow for Technical Support + User Guides
       
    • Scroll down and select Wave Phone Quick Reference Guide
       
    • Beeping may also occur if you did not set up your voice mail greeting
       
  • If you do not have voice mail, there could be a problem with equipment or a jack:

    • Try new batteries or a different phone when possible
       
    • If the problem persists, unplug phones and equipment from the jacks/electrical outlets
       
    • Plug each piece of equipment back in, one by one, to determine the equipment causing the beeps

 

I hear beeps when I pick up the receiver on my phone; I can NOT dial out: 

 
  • Check phones - receiver may be off the hook
     
  • Check cordless phones - they pick up signals from other phones, ham radios, baby monitors, etc.
     
  • Try a corded phone to determine if a cordless phone is experiencing interference
