Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The cordless

other appliances might cause the phone to not dial out properly.
If you cannot eliminate the background noise, try muting the
cordless handset before dialing, or dialing from another room
with less background noise.
If other phones in your home are having the same problem,
