I have been trying to swap our old wireless DECT land line phone for a newer model. Easy I thought, just plug it in. Unfortunately that didn't work, the new phone had no dial tone, the old one did.
I gave up.
I came back and tried a few other things: changed the dialling mode, did resets, tried the master socket etc. Still no joy.
Eventually hidden in the depths of the manufacturers website I found a knowledge base and this tip:
Check that you have connected your phone using the supplied line cable and not the one from any previous phone (they are often differently wired).
So I changed the connecting cable from the one that came with the old phone, to the one that came with the new phone, and it worked. That'g logic for you, what possible reason could there be to wire up the cables differently apart from to confuse people?
