    Check with Area faults on 0800 561 0061 If you have a VM landline 150 this goes down to post code level. You could also try the web service status page, but this is not recommended as it only covers issues that affect a very large number of customers.

    VM will not dispatch any technicians while an area fault exists.

    If no area faults found:

    The primary place to report faults or for service requests is Customer Services on 0345 454 1111/150 if you have a VM landline or wait two or three days for a VM staff member to get to your post. This board is not a fault reporting system.

  • Hi, I had a similar issue.

    VM sent an engineer who plugged a bit of kit into the router and then the phone into the bit of kit.

    I don't have a landline now, as we used to have. I think I now use a phone via the router which is actually VOIP.

    But I still pay for a landline.

      VM don't use "proper" VoIP   At the moment, the Hub is just a digital link to the old Exchange's

        Apologies, I just assumed VOIP is being used.

        The main issue I have is that I can't use the phones in the house where I wanted them.

        Hey ho, progress I guess, but that's life.

        It really is swings and roundabouts with VM at times.  Some days are good, some bad in the way things work.
