No Dial Tone After Purchasing a New Modem

I recently purchased a new modem; however, after connecting the landline to it, it has no dial tone.  I followed the customer service steps outlined by the AI assistant several times (unplugging everything, leaving the power off for 15+ minutes, etc.) and making sure all cords are properly connected and functional.  I read that it might be a problem only an Xfinity employee re-sending a provisional signal can fix, so I was hoping to try that at one's convenience.
