2500 Series Desk Phone
mihow:
I have a 2500 phone as well (Bell System by Western Electric 2500D 2-69). I have a dial tone, the phone rings and I can receive calls but I can not dial out. When I press the key pad I hear button tones but the dial tone never stops. I tried reversing the polarity (swapped the red and green wires) without luck. There is also a yellow wire I'm not sure what to do with. Any ideas? Photos attached!

Your keypad is shot. Either throw away the phone, or try to get a replacement from somebody on eBay who will accept returns.

I think Steve meant to say, either take your old phone to a recycling place (hopefully you have one), or replace the keypad, and recycle the old one.
Too much e-Waste!
