Anyone having problems with their phone?

I have optimum voice and everywhere I call I get a weird busy signal... argh!

Is this just me or is everyone having this problem? Thanks!

Danielle, maybe there was an accident in your area that knocked down some wires?

Hmmm... weird. I called the kid that I tutor to cancel, and couldn't get through. I called my mom to tell her I made it home alive, and couldn't get through.

I called my cell phone to see if it would ring, and THAT rings, but I can't call anyone but... myself!!



ETA: I can use my cell here IF and ONLY if I press my face against the window or go out onto the porch... and with this wind... NO WAY!

I also have an internet based phone, called lingo. I haven't tried to dial out with it, but when my parents called me, the phone rang, I picked it up, and heard a fast busy signal, as if it disconnected. Then they left me voicemail, though!

Thanks, Janet, and everyone!

So weird, I had the whole busy signal thing too, and I just tried my student and I got through!

Very strange... maybe their circuits were busy?

Thanks all!!

I've been getting weird text/characters on my cell phone where the date usually goes. I don't know what that is all about.
