Are you sure that the hook switch (the little button under the handset) is working properly at all?
As time goes by there might be some dust and gunk built up on the contacts so they might not be closing or opening the circuit the way they should.
If so, that might be quite a quick fix to do by disassembling it and cleaning it with some contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
