Check phone line

[Sh8]

Despite going through all the advice online my landline still says Check phone line. All the status updates seem fine and I keep going in circles on the website about how to get this fixed!

Hi there @Sh8 

Thank you so much for your post and welcome to the community forums, it's great to have you here. 

I am so sorry that you have faced this issue and thank you so much for your post. Can I ask what exactly is happening with the phone line? Do you have a dial tone at all? 

Have you recently switched from a wall to a Hub connection?

[Sh8]

Thanks for responding so quickly. I have no dial tone at all and haven't switched from the wall socket or received any instructions to do so. 

[Ashleigh_C]

No problem at all @Sh8 and thank you for confirming. 

Can I ask if you are connected at a main or an extension socket? Do you have any other pieces of equipment connected at this point? 

Have you been able to try another handset on the line at all?

[Sh8]

I'm attached at a main socket and there's no other equipment attached. I've also tried another handset with no success

Thank you for trying for me and I'm so sorry this has not resolved things @Sh8 

I do think it would be best we get an engineer out to take a look for us so I will pop you a private message so we can arrange this now. 

I will pop you a PM across now, please keep an eye out for the envelope at the top of your screen alerting you to a new message.
