No Dialling Tone

Calling any resident telecoms engineers. BT have checked the line, NFF -
can't come out till 14th...

Just started getting no dial tone on my home phones; adsl broadband is still
working, the handsets (all three of them!) work plugged into other phone
lines - number just rings if you call it.

Removed all possible chinks in the chain (splitters, doublers etc); plugged
each phone into an adsl filter into the wall port and nada. Even plugged the
phones directly into the wall port one at a time, and nothing, not even the
whiny "you need a filter" noise you get in this situation.

Anyone? Anyone...?

TIA.

Yep you need a visit from BT as your line is 'dis' one leg, probably closer
to your house than the exchange but there is little you can do about it.

thanks for the info - I'll sit tight then.
