After putting a new battery in the phone everything seems to work except there isn't any dial tone. I've checked the lines and the wall outlets both for power and phone both are o'k.

My GE cordless phone , as well as my other phone , which are uniden cordless phone have lost their dial tones. I'm trying to reset my uniden phones by unplugging the bases and unplugging the batteries from the phones and wait for about 30 min. , then hook them back up and reset them to the bases again , they think that will work for the Uniden phones, but my GE phone doesn't have a reset program on the menu , do you have any other suggestions. Also I have a regular phone in my home and they are working properly , just my cordless phones are out.

I have had the same problem before and now again for the last week...I finally remembered what I did last time to solve it!
I put my "unavailable" Handset into the main cradle and left it there for a slow count of 20. That has reset the unavailable handset and returned the dial tone etc.
Maddening isnt' it!
SOURCE: No dial tone, just buzzing noise - should be 2 line phone, 1 jack
What you need is a dsl filter since you are working off a splitter. You can usually get these for free from your phone company.
SOURCE: no dial tone
I would contact your phone provider. It could be a coinceidence that the dial tone stopped working.
DSL does not require dial tone to work.
SOURCE: continuous dial tone on phone line
There are two possible answers to this problem. The first thing is to check on the cordless phones, is a 2 way switch, one setting is for DP=Dial pulse (setting for old rotary phones) 2nd setting is TT= Touch Tone. I would guess that the setting should be set to TT on both cordless phones for touchtone.
Second thing to do is to plug in the base unit of your cordless phone to a jack that currently has a landline phone plugged into it that works and test again. If cordless phone works OK then go back to the original jack that didn't work and reverse the wires in the jack: that is what is known as a "polarity" issue.
