My house phone is a 2.4ghz phone so I tried changing to 5.8ghz and had the same problem. I then tried a 6.0 DECT phone and still had the problem of dropped calls when my landline would call. I was out of ideas and then realized that with my Directv service I can see caller ID on my TV screen when the phone rings so I figured that my Directv box must be causing the interference. I disconnected my Directv box from the phoneline and the issue has ceased. I can no longer see who is calling on my TV screen but my Blackberry service is not interrupted now when my house phone rings(I am even using my original 2.4ghz phone). Has anyone else had this issue? I wonder if there is a filter or other fix that I can do to the Directv box so that I can use all of my toys without interference.

Is your internet connection comming through a DSL modem that is hooked up to your phone line. If so make sure you have a DSL phone filter hooked up between your direct tv box and the wall phone jack.
