My second-hand BT Esprit 1250 twin DECT phones fail to elicit a dial tone or answer an incoming call. They are registered and can page each other. They make the right called-number beeps when I call out, but no call tone. The Dial Mode is 'Tone/Timed break', if that helps.

The phone line is fine when connected to a normal landline phone and if connected to another DECT cordless.

Is this a duff hardware issue or have missed something obvious?
