"Hi,

You may have to first prove whether the problem is associated with your cordless telephone/base station equipment or the landline phone service itself.

Is the phone’s base station connected to a telephone cable socket or an internet modem i.e. VoIP phone service (voice over internet protocol)?

Try connecting a corded phone (or another known working with no problems cordless phone with base station) to the phone line or modem in lieu of your cordless phone's base station and see if the problem is with your cordless phone system or the telephone service.

If the problem is with the phone service contact your service provider about the problem. If the phone is connected to a modem, check the phone settings in the modem to make sure that they’re correct (usually found on provider’s website)and if so contact your provider.

If the problem is with your cordless phone setup, how many handsets are connected to the base station? If more than one does it occur on all or only the one?"
