Last year, we had a problem with our phones (both cordless and corded). We would often not have a dial tone, and on more than one occasion would pick up only to hear neighbors conversations (even on wired phones). After several calls to our phone provider they agreed to come out--turns out there was a problem with the common connection for the cluster of houses that was related to a bad ground of the phone circuit. Since your issue seems "internal" it might be worth just checking the integrity of the connections between your house and the incoming phone interface. Ours is outdoors and subject to the elements which is never a great environment for connections.
what to do cordless phone amplifier problem
Hi,
I have mono amps where one of the two mono amps has intermittent interference from static which comes out of one of the speakers. I did a variety of tests to rule out as the source of the problem: the speakers, the preamp, the cd player, the speaker cable, and the interconnect cable. I also tried grounding the amplifier as well as power conditioner. I sent the amplifier back to the manufacturer and the manufacturer says the amp works fine.
Today, my wife tried to use the cordless phone in the downstairs bedroom and instead of getting a dial tone she got the sound of my stereo blaring through the cordless phone receiver. She then noticed that this same thing happened on the kitchen cordless phone too.
I assume that the problem with phone picking up my stereo signal is linked to my intermittent static issue.
Since its happening on two separate cordless phones on two different floors of the house(same phone number though), should I be calling a electrician or the phone company to check out the phone lines?
The problem does not occur continuously. The phenomena lasted for about 10 minutes.
Any thoughts?
Michael
