Broken home phone line

Good evening,

We have had nothing come through on our phone line for about a month now.

Thought the phones might be faulty but the new ones we have just installed are doing the same thing.

Checked all the cables inside and out all looking fine.

Can someone please advise as we have been paying for the phone line but unable to use it.

Best wishes

Colin

Hello Colinporter37, thank you for posting on our help forum today and a warm welcome to our community.

We're sorry to see you have issues with your landline, we're eager to best help with this.
Can you please advise how your device connects to the line, at the minute? Is it via the back of the hub using an adaptor (line via fibre) or is it plugged on to the wall phone socket?

Also, could you tell us if you received any communication from us in regard to a change to this service recently?

Good evening,

It is connected straight into the socket on the wall.

We have had no communication about any changes to the service.

Best wishes

Thanks for your reply, Colin 🙂
Also thank you for confirming the type of landline you have and that you haven't had any changes to this recently.

We're eager to assist with any service faults, since you've said you tried other handsets and the issue persists, could you also tell us if there is a dial tone before you ring someone out from your handsets and how many devices are currently in use?
Furthermore, could you let us know if your phone connects to a Master Socket (big socket with logo) or an extension (small, plain white)?

Good Evening,

Thankyou for the reply.

There is no dial tone and we cannot ring out or revieve calls at all.

The phone is plugged into the extension cable you supplied but i have tried it straight in the wall socket with the logo but there is no change.

Best wishes
