Thanks for explaining that Cheyenne!
Aztoma - I think if I bought your simple phone, it would prove the same issues. My hard landline does just have a wire going into the phone jack. This is why I know that whatever is happening is happening at a CL level. It sounds like the "box" doesn't have enough backup battery power. When I first moved into my house 7 years ago, the landline would stay on for hours. Now it's out with the power. Based on where you're located, you're on a different CL box than us in the Bar-K.
I appreciate the help, but I think it's back to pestering CL for a new back up battery system.
I got a hold of someone super helpful at Century Link and have an appointment for a tech to come to my house at 8:30 tomorrow morning. I hope it's true and I get to talk to a real person in the flesh!
