Phone gets 'dead' after making a call or answerr to the phone
Hi:
Recently, the G.E. phone using inside the house getting 'dead' after making the phone-call or receiving to answer to the phone.
What's wrong with the phone?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

How old is the phone? The batteries may simply be old and no longer able to hold a charge.

Thanks for the response.
I just purchased this G.E. telephone only two and half years ago and occassionally using it. There is no batteries inside it.
I also forgot to mention in my previous thread, ....
strangely enough, when I pull Phone-Jack off from the wall and back it into it, it works.
Is this to be because Phone-Jack getting back? Because, I installed this Phone-Jack over ten or 15 years ago when Dial-Up was only Internet connection, except one or two very expensive broadband connections to recall.

Thanks for the suggestions.
After posted here, .... I tried to replace a brand new phone-jack, but before running to the Radio Shack, 15 minutes away from my home, I unscrewd the phone-jack whether I can do the work, because I did it so long ago and almost forgot what's inside the phone-jack. Upon opening it, I found one screw located in the middle of the phone-jack was not quite tightened up.
In my guess, during the Dial-days, there had the four-way plug which enabled to connect two PCs, fax and phone that might have caused to get the screw loose over the years, due to the weight of the four-way plug.
Now, after the screw tightened, the phone never die even after more than 7 different calls.

Nice to hear it turned out to be working fine.
The problem described could be related to the hook switch too.
A typical telephone contains of a ringer circuit always connected, and a voice/dialing circuit who disconnects when putting the handset in its rest position. (Then the current stops running, and the exchange knows you the telephone is not in use)

Now, I'm thinking of buying the following telephone-jack 'just in case of malfunction.' Because, it's very similar to the one I have now. Actually, I found it at the eBay site and cheap, too, probably it's too old for selling.
---- Surface Mount Phone Jack 4-Wire Telephone
"Biscuit Block" style Block----
Your opinion would be truly appreciated.
Thanks,

I guess your relation to this is specialized enough to ask you to take a look here:
