Landline Phone Cracking & Popping

My landline phone cracks and pops when I hear the dial tone. I have had this issue months ago, a technician assisted me and it stopped for maybe a couple of days. I have restarted the modem and still can hear the cracking and popping.  HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,Ollison. Thanks for taking time out of your day to create a post here in the community, we appreciate it. I know from personal experience that it's never fun to be the one with a poor-quality sounding phone line. It can be quite irritating! Let's see what we can do for you. 

 

This issue is most commonly caused by backfeed from in-home phone wiring. Do you use the phone jacks in your walls or do you have a main phone unit that plugs into the modem with smaller satellite bases units that plug into power in the other rooms? Everyone's setup is different and it's important for us to know/understand yours, in order to help you out.

Just to confirm, you are only hearing cracking and popping on calls received? When you make calls out, are you hearing any static? Also, you mentioned about calls 904 - 401. Are those the area codes of the calls coming in that you are hearing the static, cracking, and popping sounds?

I no longer work for Comcast.
