I Hear a Series of Beeps When I Pick Up My Receiver for DC Metro, IL, MA, NY and PA

I hear beeps when I pick up the receiver on my phone; I can dial out:

• When a message is waiting, voice mail provides a series of beeping tones known as stutter dial tone
   
  • See voice mail instructions
     
• No voice mail:  there could be a problem with equipment or a jack:
   
  • Unplug the phone and plug in a phone that is working properly; your phone may need new batteries
     
  • If the problem persists, unplug phones and equipment from the jacks/electrical outlets
     
  • Plug each piece of equipment back in, one by one, to determine the equipment causing the beeps
     
• I hear beeps when I pick up the receiver on my phone; I can NOT dial out: 
   
  • Check phones - receiver may be off the hook
     
  • Check cordless phones - they pick up signals from other phones, ham radios, baby monitors, etc
     
  • Try a corded phone to determine if a cordless phone is experiencing interference
