Home Phone: Frequently Asked Questions
I have no dial tone. What do I do?
Check that all your telephone sets are plugged in and properly hung up.
Check to see if your phone set will work in another jack on the same phone line.
Unplug all of your equipment from the phone jacks, then try plugging a single phone set into a phone jack and testing again
If you still have no dial tone, please contact Quadro Support via email at support@quadro.net or if you have another line available, dial 1-800-265-4986 and choose option 1 to further troubleshoot.

How do I access my voicemail when I am away from home?
Dial your phone number.
Press the * key while your greeting is playing.
Enter your PIN when prompted.
Press the # key.
My Call Display only shows the number and not the name.
Some phones are equipped to show only the number, while others show the number or the name, one at a time. To toggle back and forth, try using either the arrow key or the * button. Check your phone’s user manual to see which one applies for your phone.
Name and number display isn't working.
This could be due to a number of reasons such as:
Your telephone set is not equipped with name/number display. Consult your telephone set’s user manual to verify its capabilities.
The party calling you has chosen to block their name/number.
The call is coming from businesses using a Centrex line.
The call is from overseas.
The call is coming from another service provider that is not sharing the call information with Quadro.
I have a hum or static on my phone line.
Check each phone individually to see if it is causing static on the entire line. Disconnect and reconnect each phone one at a time to try to isolate the problem.
If possible, try another phone on the line (preferably not a cordless phone as they can pick up interference, even when not in use).
If removing a cordless phone fixes the problem, when you plug it back in try scanning for another channel that may be clear. If the static or hum continues, remove this phone from the line.

Do I need a dedicated line for a fax machine?
You do not need a dedicated line for a fax machine. You can also use the Distinctive Ring feature. The Distinctive Ring feature establishes additional telephone numbers on the same line as an existing number, each number ringing with a distinctive ringing pattern. You must make sure that your fax machine is Distinctive Ring compatible.
I need an IP Message Relay service link.
Here is the IP Message Relay link that you’ll require.
Use: https://iprelay.ca/login/#/
If you do not have an access code, contact Quadro to have us create an account for you to gain access to the relay message service.
What's the difference between having the operator place my call and making it myself?
It’s less expensive to make the call yourself.
Operator-handled calls require the immediate assistance of a person working for the phone company. Due to human intervention, there is an operator-handled surcharge for this service that is over and above any long distance fees.
The surcharge varies based on things that include your location and the location of the person you’re calling, the method you are using to pay for the call and other factors.
If you want to make an operator-assisted call, ask the operator what the surcharge will be before having the call connected.
