If you are trying to call out on a landline telephone and you are unable to get a dial tone, the line is probably out of order. (Note that during a time of unusually high demand, including in an emergency, there may be a lengthy delay in getting dial tone. If that happens, if your call is not urgent, hang up and wait until the lines are less congested. If your call is urgent, stay on the line and wait until you get dial tone; do not repeatedly hang up and pick up the receiver, as that will only increase your wait time.)

If you are trying to call to a number that you suspect may be out of order, there is no way to know reliably if it is out of order. If it is your own line, you can call the repair number for your local telephone company and ask them to run remote tests, which may be able to tell that there is a problem.
