Please ensure that all other phones in your house have been hung up. You can then disconnect and reconnect the phone that you're using from the phone jack in the wall before attempting to make another call. Otherwise, you might need to schedule an in-home repair of your phone system in order to get things working properly again.
Line in use means another phone is being used. If you have more than one phone, the second phone is off the hook or someone is already using the phone. Check all phones and be sure they are hung up.
if you have more than one phone . check that the others have been hung up properly
could be a line fault
find a friend that will let you plug in your phone and if you still get the busy tone , fix the phone
if you have no dial tone , you have no line to the exchange
it can be from the call cancel switch ( hang up button) or an extension that is not hung up properly
It could be an external problem so you will have to get the service provider to check the line from the building out
As that may require you to pay if it is not faulty, try borrowing a phone and plugging it into the wall socket for the phone
If you get a dial tone on the borrowed phone , it is your phone but if there is still no dial tone , it very well could be a service provider problem
if one of the cordless phones has not been hung up properly or the end call button has not been pressed then the system still acts as if a person is using a phone
check all phones , then use another phone and call your service provider to check the lines to your house
no dialing tone indicates an open line or an extension that has not been hung up properly. IF you have a corded phone then it may be in the cord (broken at the hand piece or at the base) On the technical side it may be from the wires in are not paired properly ( go google and check for phone line pairing) and on the financial side the account has not been paid
~*~*~ SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED! ~*~*~ After talking to both ATT and RCA with no success...I figured it out. ~*~*~ Plug your phone line into the "DATA PORT" on the back of the unit. Slide the "DATA PORT" switch to whichever line is showing it has a message. Press the corresponding Line# button on the front of the phone. (you should hear the dial tone) Dial your voice mail number. Let it answer, (enter your passcode if needed), then hang up! - That's it! example: MSG Waiting:L2 - I plugged the phone line into the Data Port and moved the data port switch to "2". I pressed LINE 2 on the front of the phone, dialed my voice mail number, it answered, I put in my passcode. (It said that I did not have any new voice mails), then hung up! That's it! Message Indicator light off!!! Repeat for each line that shows a (false) message waiting. ~~~Don't forget to move your phone line back into it's correct port on the back of your phone.~~~
It sounds like the last person who called you hasn't hung up properly.
You'll either have to wait til they figure it out or use a cell to phone their cell, or go tell them in person.
