Hi
To troubleshoot the issue and find out what is wrong, first try a normal phone in the same plug and tell us if you can make a call.
When you turn on your cordless phone can you hear a sound before and while you dial?

Do modular connectors work ONLY with modular sockets? The answer is yes, there special circuits both in the connector and socket.

My old landline phone works fine with the same plug and yes, I can make and receive calls on it.
When I turn on my Gigaset A490 cordless phone I can hear a sound both before and during the dial. The phone shows the number which I have dialed and is trying to connect. I can see the flashing and blinking.
But after that, nothing happens. I just cannot make the call. Neither can I receive any call when I try to call that phone through another phone.
The socket on the wall is an old two-pin one whereas the Gigaset A490 comes with a modular connector which needs a modular socket.
I cut another phone cord at one end and fitted it into a two-pin plug. Fitting the modular connector to the cordless phone and the two-pin plug to the socket on the wall, I tried to make it work. It did not work.
Do modular connectors work ONLY with modular sockets? Can't you make these work the way I tried to?
What's the solution?
