The Budgetone 100 should be generating the dialtone, so this is not an * 
issue, per se. However, that said, the newer versions of the firmware 
(in the 1.0.5.xx range) suppresses the generation of dialtone if the 
phone does not register properly and the register option is enabled. 
Make sure that your phone is registering properly - see the many, some 
recent, posts on this subject. Note that it is possible to retrieve 
voice mail on an unregistered phone, but you won't be able to receive 
calls (because * won't know the IP address).
