I did not have Wire Maintenance plan.  The No-Dial tone problem was outside my building problem.

I was not home so they lied to me that it was inside wiring problem and charged me $100.

Few years ago, they used to charge $3.99 for wire maintenance.  They kept raising this fees to $6.99 first and recently they are charging $7.99 per month for wire maintenance.

I have 2 lines connected to alarm systems.  Both lines are not used to make calls or receive calls.

They are used to dial one # (alarm company) only.  So if I have wire maintenance on first line, they come to repair first line, but they charge me by saying that you do not have wire maintenance on 2nd line and problem was on 2nd line.  I never disturb both phone lines wiring so how come every few months I lose dial-tone?  Their stupid maintenance guy breaks my phone line when he comes to install new line for other customers.

There is a very easy solution to your problem.  You can open up the phone box on the side of the house.  Inside, there will be a test jack.  Plug a phone in there and see if there is dialtone.  If there is, the problem is inside the house.  If there isn't, then you should call the phone company.

Verizon Residential Phone Line. They came to repair No-Dial Tone and charged me $100 and No-Dial Tone problem was not inside my building problem. I was not home so they took advantage of my situation.

Unfortunately, I do not have phone jacks for these two lines so I cannot figure out which line really has no dial tone.  Also, according to Verizon diagnoses, it always say that both lines should be working fine and there is no network problems.
