Call charges when I have no phone.

I have been getting charged for landline call charges when I don’t have a phoned plugged and haven’t for the last 3 years?

  • Hi Poppy2512,

    Thanks for your post and welcome to our community. 

    I'm sorry to hear you've received some unexpected call charges. 

    I'll send you a private message now.

    Please look out for the envelope in the top right of the page and pop back to me when you can.

    Yes happened to me many years when a phone line was mandatory. In the end I had to cancel the line to get it sorted.

    Phantom call charges get regular mentions on here. Often caused by a fault such as a crossed line.

    How do you connect your VM landline - via the TEL1 socket on the back of the VM hub or via a conventional telephone wall socket?

    Have you tested the line to see if you can call in/out (borrow a phone if poss from a friend, family member, neighbour etc.)? This will identify if the line is working normally or not before you try to engage with VM
