Who is responsible for repairing my inside telephone wiring?

You may be charged for a service call if the phone company has to come out to your home or business and discovers that the problem is on your side of the telephone block. Repairs to your inside wiring or telephone equipment is a competitive service that may be done by anyone. You may also pay your local phone company a small maintenance fee each month to maintain your service for you. If you are renting, the landlord usually pays for repairs for inside wiring up to one phone jack, so check with your landlord before you call the utility or agree to the phone company’s maintenance fee.
