I could be wrong, but when I was researching phone wiring about a year ago I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that not using a DSL filter (or having a bad one) could cause not having a dial tone.
Another idea: when you try the phone from jack to jack are you using the same cord? Reason I ask, I once had a phone cord that my cat chewed on the connector, and when plugged in it only partially worked. If I remember correctly I could receive calls but not get a dial tone to dial out.
