Someone called me on my cell and told me that they called my home
phone, and it just rang and rang.
But I was right here...it never rang, and the machine didn't pick up.
Weird thing is, I can call out. And I can call the home phone from my
cell, and I can answer the home phone and connect even though it isn't
ringing.
I have a Panasonic DECT phone with 3 handsets. I unplugged this, and
still, the wired phones in the garage and laundry room don't ring!
Any ideas?!?

disconnect all of the phones. try them one at a time, see if you can
narrow the issue down to one phone. If NONE of them work, try plugging
directly into the NID. If that works, you have an issue with the wiring
inside the house. If that still doesn't work, call the phone co.
Or just do what I did, go all cellular. Since Verizon seemed unable to
provide me with a line that worked reliably, I seemed unable to continue
to pay for their service.

Going cellular could be what I'd do, if there was decent cellular
signal here. It's usually weak (with frequent dropouts during calls).
I'm in town, but not that close to a business area.
Strangely, I can go out to the country, walk into the woods, and get a
good (4-5 bars) signal there.

If you haven't turned the ringers off on all your phones, call the repair
people at your phone service provider...

Uh oh. Deja vu.
Try this:
Call your home from your cell. While it's 'ringing', pick up the home
phone. Does your cell keep ringing, or do you 'answer'?
Had this at my parents. Called my cell phone from the landline - and
the Caller ID that showed WASN'T the right number.
So I called back the number from my cell. The home phone rang a few
times - and then someone picked up. After probably the weirdest "Ummmm
Hello, this is going to sound strange..." it turns out it was a
neighbor 3 houses away. Yep, Pac... err AT&Whoever came out earlier
that day, and party lined my parents house and a neighbors house. That
line was going to 2 different houses.
