There is no dial tone.
First, try all the above suggestions.
Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It might be out of range.
The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone line cord.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and connect a different telephone.
If there is no dial tone on this telephone either, the problem is in your wiring or local service.
Contact your local telephone company.
