Request: Landline Corded Telephone & connecting cable! (Willingdon BN20) Withdrawn WANTED, please! Landline corded telephone with keypad and coiled cord & the connecting cable.

My landline telephone is completely dead; NO dialling tone, in spite of being correctly connected to the dongle that plugs in to the "new" router Zen sent me, which is plugged in to the FON port in the router.
