Zach, Just picked up your question which really, I think, has already been answered. I came to Virgin Media about two weeks ago; no such problems before then but now I constantly have "no number" calls on my display. Since yesterday lunchtime these have been at 1.21pm, 5.31pm, 8.01pm, 9.41pm, 3.11am, 4.21am and 6.51am. I am using a BT Premium phone.
Hi chelmoo,
Welcome back to our Community Forums. Thanks for reaching out and I'm sorry to hear that you're also receiving these calls. I can understand how frustrating they are.
Can you tell us if you're tried to connect a different landline phone to see if this issue continues?
Thank you.

57 messages on the subject over 2-3 weeks and still not understanding the issue. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LANDLINES, HANDSETS, or PHONE NUMBERS. The simple truth is that it is the move from landline to IP telephony via hub 5 that is the issue. Either hub5 issues (hardware or configuration) or external influences (engineering, hacking) or wider virgin media network issues. We need this escalating to a single person at management level who will take ownership and identify his/her self, conduct an appropriate investigation, and provide a full explanation and solution. We call it professional and responsible network engineering as opposed to the pas-the-parcel service we are getting up to date. We also need an appropriate forum in which to discuss this - we have all come here because virgin media “are experiencing a high volume of calls” since the switchover, have a wait of 30-45 mins to get to a multiple digit wait list, before getting through (1hr plus later) to be told not us it’s your handset. Not good enough sorry. Escalate to management please.

Hi Chris_Myers thanks for your reply, I can appreciate your frustrations here.
As Zach has said previously, this is already being investigated and as such we cannot escalate this further - it is being investigated with an attempted fix to be provided ASAP as you've been advised on the other thread you've posted on too.
Many thanks

Hello,
i have a two way bt splitter connected to my hub 5.
One connected to a bt premium phone, the other a new Panasonic set. As with everyone else, the bt premium phone’s show these calls, Panasonic set does not. I believe this is simply the hub/vm checking the connection automatically by sending a signla through to the phone and the bt call guardian picking this up as a legitimate call, making these calls show up in recents.This issue seems to be only with the bt phones on the hub 5. My premium bt phones worked with both hub 3 and 4 without any issues.
I will be staying with the hub 5, due to it having the 2.5gb port.

I dont want to tell anyone how to do job but this is pretty clear the trend with this
HUB 5 and BT premium phone

internal tech team should get one then it will become clear what issue is .. - snozski3 years agoUp to speed
Great thanks 🙂

You can add another one here, recently upgraded to the Hub 5 and have 4-5 calls daily of the same nature. Went on holiday to return to 50 'Missed Calls' with the missed call capacity on the telephone filled and no new ones being able to be recorded. No problem if it is these 'Ping Tests' (?) but annoying if it is a genuine missed call with no left message.
Come on Virgin get it sorted, this is supposed to be the future for the replacement of copper core telephone lines, not good if it constantly shows missed calls on your landline.

So weeks in, numbers growing, and still no feedback other than “under investigation”. Do we have a timeline for some - any- feedback (ballpark, days, weeks, months, years, sometime never)? Have we even been able to replicate the issue in a lab? Do we know anything? Confidence in an appropriate identification of the issue and a solution is not high.

Hey Dave
BT premium phone too?
- Lisa_CC3 years agoModerator
Hello,
I'm sorry that some of you are experiencing issues with your landline service whilst using the BT Premium Phone. We've given some examples to our Technical Team who are investigating this and they've advised they will approach the relevant 3rd parties to look deeper. I'm afraid it won't be a quick fix but we're working on getting it resolved as soon as we can and we're sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Regards,
Lisa

You can add another one to the list.
Again I’m using BT Premium phones. The difference here I was having this issue with the Hub 4, started a few weeks ago. I’ve since been upgraded to the Hub 5 and am still having the same issue.

Hey Redwards86 thanks for reaching out to us and welcome back to the Virgin Media forums.
I'm sorry to hear about the issues with the "No number" calls.
May I ask how many calls per day are being recorded from your end?
Are you able to hard reset the Virgin Media hub for me please?
Let us know.
Kind regards,
Ilyas. - Redwards863 years agoDialled in
Around 7 per day.
Being as I’ve had this issue with 2 different hubs I fail to see how resetting the hub will make any difference.
I don’t know if it makes any difference but I’m using the hub in modem mode.

Thanks for confirming that for me, apologies I missed that.
There is an update here - https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Home-Phone/Constant-quot-no-number-calls-quot-since-moving-to-IP-Telephone/m-p/5143336/highlight/false#M176923
Best,
- snozski3 years agoUp to speed
Yep, I saw that thanks, hopefully, technical team can get to bottom of it. All they need is a Hub 5 and a BT premium phone to see it for themselves.
- Chris_Myers3 years agoSuperfast
Yes, not really getting the hang of this are we.
Over a month and 77 entries, yet still unable to duplicate the issue and to identify the problem. Unable to communicate the issue and potential resolution, and now hoping to push the blame onto BT in the hope they fix it for you or to shift responsibility. It is Virgin Media who have changed, not BT. It is therefore your issue, to identify and resolve. Lots of chat but zero customer service coming from Virgin Media . As previously stated, this now needs a manager to take responsibility (and identify themselves) for the issue. To have it duplicated in lab conditions, to correctly identify the issue, and to propose a solution. Regular reports on progress are required to the customers, not just platitudes.
I realise the team are doing their best in this forum but it is not here it needs to be addressed. It should also be noted that it was brought here as a last resort as no other mechanism got through or received a response. So can I please ask again that a full management response be provided as to what the issue is and what Virgin Media intend to do about it - and no, pushing the responsibility to BT for a change that Virgin Media Made does not cut it.
While I'm on the subject, is it possible to obtain a transcript of this discussion chain as it seems it may be necessary to take the issue up with external authoritative bodies? (I have just been on holiday and come back to a full recent calls list which I had to delete (unchecked) in order to even be able to use the perfectly good working apparatus only impacted when the new hub and service provided by Virgin Media came on line). The problem is a nuisance, the time spent chasing Virgin Media to take action excruciating, and the feedback (3rd hand at best) of little value. The ball is in Virgin Media's court - prove you are professional, can provide a valuable customer service, and truly respect and value the customer.

Hey Chris_Myers, thanks for the update regarding the situation of this.
I can confirm that there is an issue with the Hub 5 and BT handsets working together.
This is not to say that there is an issue with BT handsets, as there are many of them, but rather this is an issue with the firmware of the Hub 5 and BT handsets.
We are aware of the situation and this has been logged to the relevant team to work on and resolve.
Unfortunately a manager would not be able to assist further regarding this as the matter is with a specialist team dealing with Hub software's / firmware's and intricacies.
As advised, once we have an update from the team regarding the solution to this, we will keep you aware.
Kind regards,
Ilyas. - Chris_Myers3 years agoSuperfast
Thank you - it is the first time VM have admitted there is an actual issue with their Firmware.
Please continue to update on progress as it is received.
- Ilyas_Y3 years agoForum Team (Retired)
Thank you for the reply Chris_Myers.
Truth be told if all other firmware's and software's are fine, and it's our one which is having a hiccup, it tells us that something has gone wrong which we need to rectify.
"Passing the book" doesn't really do anything, as it just plasters a wound which needs to e fixed.
So we do appreciate you raising this with us 🙂
Kind regards,
Ilyas. - Jack_p13 years agoJoining in
I'm having the same problem since the changeover, yesterday. I also have BT phones.
