I have the same issue.  To address a long-running fault, your engineer transferred my home phone line to a new card within the on-street cabinet on 23 January 2021.  Since then the service has been working tolerably well, but there was a simultaneous loss of the 1471 feature which I have "put up with" for fear of finding myself back at square one.  Can the feature be restored, please, WITHOUT destabilizing the security of the connection?

Hi @Ant2. 

Thanks for your post 🙂 

I'm sorry to hear this, could you please expand on this? Was the 1471 feature causing an issue with the line? 

We'll be happy to get this reinstated for you on the line but it's best we know any potential issues it may cause before doing so. 

Thanks,

Thanks Sofia.  All I can tell you is that the 1471 feature was lost when the repair was made in January.  It was never SUGGESTED  to me that 1471 was the actual cause of the problem, or that I would have to do without the feature from now on.

Hey @Ant2,

Thanks for coming back to us - I'll be able to get in touch with our Telephony team for you to hopefully get this sorted.

I'll just send you a private message to confirm some account details, so please keep an eye on the purple envelope at the top of the page.

Many thanks,
