Call Verizon, sounds like you have included voicemail with your landline and somehow have DND enabled?

You can get link to cell cordless phones.
Basically, you turn the bluetooth on your cellphone and it connects to your cordless phones. Your cordless phones will have a base and X amount of other cordless phones around your house. It will act sorta like a landline. You take your cellphone with you when you leave the house and when you get back home, it automatically connects to the link to cell phone system.
You can have two phones connect to it at the same time with two different ringtones to know who should answer the phone.

Verizon no longer supports land lines here. If it quits you are done.
thanks for all replies + will call Verizon as well as try options mentioned. i have a typical land line + use airvoice cell only as needed, dont even know how to send pics yet, which is why i choose air voice as suggested on this forum. very low cost for low user like myself + no data charge if not using any. since eze i just tried *73 + got a busy signal
called verizon + after 4 transfers + 30 min talked to + scheduled repair, BUT meantime i connected outside in the gray box + even though i could not call + therefore instructions said call for service, their dime outside the house i came inside + reconnected + things work as they should for now!! tomorrow if still good i will cancel service-repair, all is well that ends well, again thanks to all for the input
As a phone premise technician, I've lost count of how many times I've been dispatched because call forwarding was enabled.
