Have you tried the automated service status number 0800 561 0061, via mobile, to check for any faults in your area?
Hi there jamieeynon
Thank you so much for your post and welcome to the community forums, it's great to have you here.
I am so sorry to hear that you are facing this issue with your service and thank you again posting. Can I ask if the phone is connected at the wall or the Hub? If at the wall are you connected at a mains socket and how many other pieces of equipment are connected here?
sorry for late reply, only just remembered to check for a reply / message.
yes, I'm connected at a mains socket, we have the broadband cable also coming out of the socket.
Thanks for getting back to us jamieeynon
Sorry, just a little confused with the response, are you saying that your landline is coming from the same socket at your broadband or does your landline come from a master socket or extension?
Do you hear a dial tone at all?
How many pieces of equipment are connected to the phone line?
There are a few troubleshooting checks I will need you to perform to see if they are successful in resolving the issue. Can you:
- Check the phone is seated in the base unit correctly & powered ON.
- Remove all other equipment connected to telephone sockets.
- Unplug the phone and check another phone directly into the main socket ensuring this is a VM socket and not one with a BT or Sky logo. If no alternative handset is available then ensure the original phone is plugged into the main socket with no other pieces of equipment being plugged in.
Let me know if any of these checks work at all, or if anything changes with the dial tone.
