Hey @Ladyb,
Welcome to the Bell Community, and thanks for your post.
The Community needs some more information in order to assist.
Do you have Fibe Home Phone service, or are you using copper home phone? Do you hear any noise on the line at all?
What type of phone set do you have, and have you tested a different phone?
Is it a newly installed service, or has the home phone been working well up until now?
If you are using Fibe Home Phone, is there an error message showing on the modem when you plug the home phone in?
We hope to hear from you soon.

Home phone...no dial tone

Good evening @anniegee,

We wanted to check in to see if you're still having trouble with your Home Phone service.

Not sure if it is Fibe Home Service or copper home phone.  How can I tell?  OUr phone set is 4 portable phones from Panasonic.  The phone is not newly installed and has been working well up until now.  There is no error message on the phone.

Do you have a modem? Black or white in colour? Do you have Bell TV?  Fibe? Do you have Internet? If you answered yes to any of these or all of these & you have a MyBell account...... then I would say "Could be? Should be? & probably is on Bell fiber!

With Bell Home phone, it does not matter, it needs to work for you!. If it is on Fibre or copper so be it!

If you have these services, lets reboot all of the equipment from Bell that you have. Unplug your modem if you have one. Wait 20-30 seconds  until all of the lights stop flashing. Try you telephones, if it works, great, if not, try unplugging your telephones, check your cords, re-plug everything bank in. Listen for dial tone & failing all of the above, please call Bell Home phone tech support. They will graciously help you prove & test where the problem is.

 Their number: 310-BELL or 1= 866-310-BELL

Hi there @wacker 
Thank you for your post and welcome to the Community.
Are you able to share if you are on the copper line or the Fibe technology for your home phone?
Is your service still not receiving dial-tone?
Looking forward to hearing back.
