Well i have two DSL splitters, one on each line. I read carefully the links that everyone offered, and nothing is solving my problem. The Vonage is definitely introducing some sort of noise. This AT&T phone is one of those fancy multi-station systems so I'm betting it's related to that. Is there any other noise filtering devices that might solve my problem outside of replacing my beloved phones?

I hope you meant fliters not splitters. |

Have you had a chance to try either of my suggestions (cheap cords, reversed line1/2)? |

Just curious, how do you have those connected? For troubleshooting purposes, run the AT&T base directly out the back of the Vonage device and then to the phone line. I'm wondering if you're hitting some sort of extra voltage/noise from old wiring in the house.
Did this ever work with Vonage? I wonder if they did something in the firmware. I don't have any AT&T(VTech makes AT&T anymore) phones here, but my Aastra 2-line phones have no problem with me running them on a landline & Voip line simultaneously. I've tried it with both Sipura & TI-based devices. |

They have been tested in every possible configuration. Two line Caller ID functionality works fine with two landline phonelines. The problem only introduces the minute I include Vonage phone line in the mix.
The phone has a Line1/2 jack and a 3/4 jack. I've run every combination possible, run it through dedicated cables with residential wiring out of the question (not my problem anyways since this problem STARTED the minute I signed up for Vonage and wanted to plug that line in), and also run it through TWO DSL noise filters.
More suggestions are appreciated, ~B |

If you're adventuresome, I'd be very curious to see whether reversing polarity on the Vonage line would make a difference. One way to do it would be to take a cheap telephone cord and cut it in the middle. Then connect the red wire in on half to the green wire in the other and vice versa. Use that to connect the Vonage adapter to the phone. |
