Western Electric 302 Dial Out

[Scotophor]

If the dial tone goes quiet when you try to dial out, but you can't complete a call, the usual problem is a dial that runs too slowly. The dial should take very close to one second to dial a "0". If it takes much longer, you should clean and lube it, or have it done by someone with experience. Steve Hilsz performs dial service for a very reasonable fee:

A simple way to check the dial speed is to dial a Zero and say "One Mississippi" at regular talking speed, if you say that before the dial has returned, then it's running slow...

It is not necessary to check the wiring, clean the dial, or adjust the speed since U-Verse Voice does not support rotary dials. As Doug said, "make sure you have rotary service" on your line.

I just found out that U-verse does not support dial and it took me a while , I had to take it to my sons house and he has Comcast that worked.  Thanks for all the help.    Logan1

Now that I no that u-verse will not work for dial out, If I get a tone pulse converter like the dialgizmo can I make it dial out  on the u-verse line.     Thanks

The U-Verse line will support tone dialing, so the answer is yes, one of those tone converters will allow it to "dial" on your line.
