We have the same problem as my wife was given the phone as a present and when we got it we were able to ring out but now we can only take calls on it.I have plugged one of our other phones in and that is fine.Any help appreciated.
You have the same problem as yourself?

Or did you resolve the original problem, and now - over a year later - you have the same problem on a different phone?

You can set the Wallpaper on your Smartphone to look like an Antique Belgian Dial-Phone.
Just an idea.

Don't go squirting contact cleaning fluid into the dial, the dial has a governor mechanism which relies on friction, if you take any of the friction away the dial may speed up and not work correctly, and when dirt sticks to the cleaner fluid it may slow down
