No dial tone

I have no dial tone with my home voice since I upgraded my modem, but the internet works fine and I'm getting voice mail. I've followed all directions on the support page about this issue but no luck.

Thanks for reaching out to us,  I do apologize for any inconvenience you're having with your Xfinity voice services. When you got the new modem did you jump on the awesome Xfinity app https://www.xfinity.com/apps  to activate the modem, also you want to make sure your telephone line is plugged into Tel port 1?

I have the same problem after upgrading to the XB8 gateway several weeks ago. I activated the gateway, and my phone is connected to Tel port 1. There is no dial tone; of course, I can't dial out. Restarting the gateway does not solve the problem
