Can no longer call my sister's BT landline from my Virgin landline

Question

This week I have been unable to call my sister's BT landline . I am on Virgin landline, I dial out then nothing happens apart from when I say hello I am hearing my own voice. It is ringing at her end and she can hear me saying hello, so I end the call and she then calls me back. I have seen on the internet a lot of people who are having similar problems.

My Virgin landline was changed over to VOIP on 23rd. August 2023 and the phone working perfectly from then until this week. Can anyone help?

Thanks for replying so promptly.&nbsp; Yes I have a dial tone and I hear it dialling out and then nothing.&nbsp; If at that point I say 'hello' I hear my own voice echoing back.&nbsp; My sister hears her phone ring answers the call and can hear me but I can hear nothing, so I put the phone down and she calls me back.&nbsp; So the issue is obviously with Virgin Media and this has only been happening this week.&nbsp;
