What to do if your phone stops working

A. If CWD has not yet installed a Master Jack in your premises.

Should a fault occur on a telephone line before a Master Jack has been installed, please call CWD’s Fault Repair service at 611. CWD will restore dial tone at no charge and install a Master jack so that, in the future, you will be able to quickly detrmine the source of any fault with your service. CWD will, however, not replace telephone instruments.

B. If a Master Jack is installed at your premises.

In the event that you experience loss of service (no dial tone) or hear noise when attempting to use your telephone, you should try to ascertain if your equipment or internal wiring is causing the problem. Please carry out the following self check.

  1. Plug a telephone that you know is working into the socket labeled “TEST”. Pick up the receiver and listen for a dial tone.
  2. 2. If you hear a dial tone, it indicates that:
    • The CWD network is working OK
    • The fault is either with your interior wiring or your other telephone instrument(s).
    You will need to call a qualified contractor or licensed electrician to check your interior facilities.
  3. If there is no dial tone, or is there is a noisy connection, then the fault is probably on the CWD network. In this case, please call 611 for assistance. Your fault report will be recorded and the necessary action will be taken to restore your telephone service promptly.
