Home telephones offer homeowners a convenient way to stay in touch with friends and family without having to rely on a mobile phone. Not only do landline telephones sound better, they offer better security in the case of 911 calls.

Simply put, there are many reasons to have a home phone, and if you live in Oregon City, OR, Clear Creek Communications can get you hooked up with one in no time. They offer a variety of television, internet, and telephone packages to fit every budget.

Once you have a home telephone, however, you might be faced with a phone that doesn’t work for a variety of reasons. Of course, telephone problems are rare, but Clear Creek Communications offers these tips on when to contact them for help and when the issue is one you should fix yourself:

As Soon As Your Phone Stops Working 

A representative of Clear Creek Communications can access your account to see if there are any outages or other technical reasons your phone service isn’t working. This will help you narrow down whether it’s the phone itself or the wiring.

If You Know It’s Caused By Outside Wiring 

Sometimes, events visibly affect the outside telephone wiring. For example, a storm or accident could knock a wire loose. Clear Creek Communications can schedule a technician to repair the problem.

If It’s Obviously An Inside Wiring Problem 

Test all the phone jacks inside your home. If only one isn’t working, you probably have an inside wiring problem. Phone wiring inside the house is not the responsibility of your telephone service provider, so you’ll need to call an outside repairman to address the problem.

Clear Creek Communications offers telephone packages that feature caller ID, call forwarding, voicemail, and other popular services. Since their telephone, internet, and television services are all offered on a fiber optic network, your connection will loud and clear.
