Help with landline

[Nicola144]

I've brought a home phone but the landline doesn't appear to work. I've never had a home phone before but need it for emergencies as mobile phone reception is awful. I have no problems with the internet.

Where have you plugged the phone into, the phone socket on a wall or your broadband hub as it might need to be in the later if it has a voice light on it that is lit up.
