Landline - can make/receive calls, but not voice heard

I'm posting on behalf of my senior parents' landline issues (with Shaw)

They can make/receive calls from their landline, but after connecting there is no voice exchange.  Neither the caller nor the receiver can be heard.  Tried from two different receivers, same result.  Tried resetting modem, phones, no change.  After making a call from my cell phone and I press the number keys, the tones can be heard on their landline, just no voices either way.  This only started happening a couple days ago, and there have been no changes to service or setup that could explain this.

Any idea anything else I can do to troubleshoot this?  Obviously without a landline, they can't call anyone to troubleshoot this.  Help please!

Do you have another phone that you can use to test?

It is not likely that trying a third handset will be any different.

Is it just one person that they are calling? Are they using their equipment to call your cell-phone?

After making a call from my cell phone and I press the number keys, the tones can be heard on their landline, just no voices either way. 

That is strange. Are you calling their number, or a different number (such as Shaw Support: 1-888-472-2222) ?

The person (or business) that you call from your cell-phone should hear your voice and the tones from your phone's numeric pad.  While you are talking through your cell-phone to "another" number, your parents should NOT hear anything through their telephone, unless you are calling their number.

As others may have said, disconnect the power-card from the Shaw Phone box, disconnect the coaxial-cable, and remove the battery from the Shaw Phone box. Wait a few seconds, and reconnect everything, and try again.

If you are in the same room as the parents, contact Shaw Support with your cell-phone, and hand your phone to a parent, so that the S.S. can diagnose the issue.
