The Verizon tech has been here, tested things, and replaced a bit of wire.
Apparently some of the wire inside the apartment (after the dial tone gets in here) was exposed, and thus subject to being knocked loose, which appears to have happened. We now have new wire, inside a box. As a bonus, there's now a phone jack in that bedroom closet, so in theory we could have a telephone extension in the bedroom without worrying about tripping over wire.

julian_tiger seemed quite pleased with the visitor. He got a chance to play "pounce on the light from the flashlight" and an excuse to jump up on the closet doorframe and demonstrate that he still has hang time. Since he was aiming for the wires on the tech's handset, I grabbed him and put him on the bed. He didn't stay there, but he seemed to register that this was not an appropriate game.
It also transpires that the cheap little phone handsetcattitude had plugged in to the line as a tester after the problem developed is dead. The cordless phone is back in place, and works (I've already made calls on it), and we should replace the other in case of power outages.
