If your Northwestern Bell Telephone doesn't have a dial tone, make sure the handset cord and telephone line cord are firmly pushed into their connections at both ends. Also, try testing the phone at a different telephone wall jack. You can also try a different phone in the wall jack to see if that phone has a dial tone.
Why does my Northwestern Bell 20200 Telephone will not ring?
Your Northwestern Bell Telephone might not be ringing because another phone connected to the same line is in use (off-hook). Ensure all phones are hung up (on-hook). Also, check the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) printed underneath your phones. If the total REN for all phones and answering machines exceeds five, your phone may not ring. Contact your local phone company to determine the maximum REN for your area.
What to do if my Northwestern Bell 20200 cannot dial out?
If your Northwestern Bell Telephone cannot dial out, and you are in a rotary only area, move the PULSE / TONE Switch to PULSE. Also, try a different phone in the jack to rule out issues with the phone itself. If you have an answering machine connected, disconnect it and try the phone alone to check for compatibility problems. Alternatively, you can purchase a 2-for-1 adapter from a phone or electrical supply store, plug it into the wall jack, and connect both the phone and answering machine to the adapter.
Why is there static on my Northwestern Bell 20200?
If you are experiencing static on your Northwestern Bell Telephone, try using a different phone to see if the issue persists, which would indicate a problem outside of the unit itself. Static can also be caused by some atmospheric conditions, such as very low humidity.
