Are they all set with DID numbers?
When you call the number what do you hear?
If you plug in a regular analog phone, does it ring can you answer and are you able to make calls?
If you can make calls, call your cell phone and make sure the number is correct.
 
If your using pots lines for faxing, check for dial tone at the "D" mark. If a fax is set up to use any line for outgoing, that would explain being able to send, but if the incoming faxes use dedicated lines, they may be bad from the CO.


If its not working, get a bigger hammer!

cannot dial out on a butt set either. However sending fax goes well
 
l truly appreciate all your repsonses. unfortunately, l cannot reach for a hammer.
 
Faxing out seem to be using other trunks for out calling. Do you use an access code to dial out? I prefer not to run fax lines through the PBX unless their is a good reason to do so. So with what you describe, I would say the carrier has a dead line and you need to report it to them.
