Crackling Line

There can be a number of reasons why you are getting a crackling line.

  1. The telephone extension wiring in your house has perished may be cracked or the outer casing split especially if the cable is running under a carpet and not around the edge of the skirting board also watch out for the carpet grippers as the cable could have the gripper nail through it.
  2. There could be a fault on your main incoming line which will transfer to every telephone point in your house.

No Dial Tone

There are 2 reasons why you get no dial tone on your telephone line.

  1. There is a fault on your internal extension wiring causing a short that will effect every telephone socket in your house.
  2. There is a fault outside from your supplier either from the telegraph pole or the green cabinet in the street, getting them to admit there is a problem is a challenge itself.
