Since May 6th 2022 I have been unable to receive incoming calls. I can make outgoing calls OK.

This appears, from reading through this forum, to be a common problem, which your support team are unaware of. 44 minutes of frustration.

Been with VM for years, this all happened after the change over to digital.

Hi percyw,

Thanks for posting and welcome to our community 🙂

I'm sorry to hear you've had some issues with the line since the switchover, can you confirm if you've rebooted your hub?

Yes, rebooted hub numerous times. Still can't receive incoming calls.

Thanks for confirming percyw 🙂

I can see from our side you have been able to get in touch with us to arrange a technician since posting.

Please let us know how the visit goes.

Hi, That's news to me. Thank you for confirming.

I left the call with the support team, they were raising it to next level and would be in touch.

Heard nothing from them since.

Turned out to be cabling problems. Virgin media engineer was very professional and painstakingly hunted down the problem.

Turned out to be the cable from the old master socket (downstairs) to upstairs router.

On a temporary basis, having to run a 10 metre extension lead from upstairs to downstairs, until I can get an electrician to sort the cabling out.

Only issue I have is it worked perfectly prior to conversion to digital. New digital system must be less fault tolerant

Many thanks for all the assistance from this forum.

Hi further update. Post engineers visit.

It wasn't anything to do with cabling, but there was a REN 4 load on the system. Found by my electrician.
