I Hear a Series of Beeps When I Pick Up My Receiver

Phone is Working, Hear a Series of Beeps

With Voice Mail on the line, a series of beeping tones known as stutter dial tone plays when a message is waiting

Voice Mail Instructions by Area

 

Without Voice Mail, there may be a problem with equipment or a jack

  1. Unplug the phone and plug in a phone that is working properly; your phone may need new batteries
     
  2. If the problem persists, unplug phones and equipment from the jacks/electrical outlets
     
  3. Plug each piece of equipment back in, one by one, to determine the equipment causing the beeps
     
 

Can't Call Out: Still Hear Beeps

  • Check all phones; a receiver may be off the hook

  • Check all cordless phones; they pick up interference from other phones, ham radios, baby monitors, etc

  • Try a corded phone to determine if a cordless phone is experiencing interference
