Land Phones

Whenever my parents plug a landline phone in, we hear static. It happens to the cordless phones too. It's this loud, constant sound. We tried to call my cell phone, but the call didn't go through. We tried other landline phones we have, and those have static too. We contacted our phone company, at&t, and they said they couldn't detect any problems and to unplug the phones for 10 minutes. Well, that didn't work, and they're not being helpful at all. It can't be the result of a thunderstorm because it started a week ago and it's been extremely dry, except for today... Is someone tapping into our phone line or something? We replaced the battery in the cordless phone and that didn't work.

We do not have any phone jacks in our home (have been exclusively using cell phones for 5+ years) and now are interested in getting VOIP - is a phone jack necessary?

I keep getting recorded telephone calls from marketing companies despite being registered with the opt-out service TPS (telephone preference service). I've only just changed my number to escape the last lot..I'm ex-directory and I've only given my number to 2 people! - The latest call was a recorded message claiming to be representing a government backed debt service...i'm not interested in their service..it's not even a human being calling me.. Its driving me mad..how can I get rid of these low-lifers? Am I going to have to get rid of my land line??? How can I find out who these people are and where they are located? Thanks

I'm looking for a VOIP company that works. I've had Vonage, Time Warner cable, and can't maintain a stable dial tone, which causes my internet to drop. I'm now looking at Power Phone.

me and my friend make a prank call to someone we know, about 1 month ago we made the call on my friends cell phone and he made the number private. Today after like a month my friend calls me(the other one whos phone we did not use) and says some investigator called him and said if he knew my number and we did not even use my phone and he said the investigator said that like do you know (me) and like because he made a prank call and etc. the guy said that its the decision of the person who we pranked if they want to press charges!
is this something legit or is this just some fake friend that the girl has called up and just told him to ask if it was me?

even if the girl does press charges i did not call from my phone so what would happen?
should i be worried?

I heard that it is possible to have a phone line in another country. This phone will answer to a USA phone number and calls will cost the same as a USA local call.

I'm moving into an apt with 3 other friends next week and I'm trying to look into internet services. My friends and I don't really watch cable so we probably won't get comcast. We're thinking about getting at&t but we don't know why it costs so much ($44.99/month) for a pro package with the no-voice line. I saw in the beginning of the website that it only costs about $24.99/month for that package, unless that was the price with a voice line. Hmm, can somebody explain this to me? haha. Thanks for your time. =D

I just need a phone line to allow me to receive DSL signal for my $19.99/mo internet service. Comcast can never beat this internet pricing LONG-TERM. That is, more than the 6- or 12-month trial period where Comcast offers its lower prices.

AT&T's local charges are starting to creep up almost every month in 2007. Imagine paying about $10/month just for taxes and surcharges (that's $120/yr) even if my phone line doesn't even have long distance.

I also looked at Vonage but it's a catch 22:
Vonage needs internet
My DSL internet (non-Comcast because it's cheaper by half: $20 vs Comcast's more than $50/mo) needs a phone line

Therefore, for me to use Vonage I stil have to pay for my phone line.

I do NOT want to use an internet service such as Skype, Yahoo, etc.

I want to be able to connect my phone line to the computer modem, and be able to make telephone calls using my existing land line service.

How would I be able to do this? It should be possible.
