Constant "no number calls" since moving to IP Telephone from landline (Home) (Resolved)

Chris_Myers
Superfast

My area has recently been migrated from landline to IP telephony which seems to work well with one exception.  My received calls report 10-20 daily calls from "no number".  There is no call made (no ringing) and no message left, just a report that "no number" called and a time.  OFCOM state it should be addressed to the provider and the Telephone preference service state they can do nothing with marketing or computer generated calls.  This did not happen until switched to IP telephony and has been daily since (coincidentally - I think not).  This appears to be a man-in-the-middle network attack and is therefore worrying (as well as filling my recent calls with rubbish).  Virgin media say they cannot see these calls, yet their system records it on my recent calls log. Anyone else having this problem or have a resolution?

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.

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. 

Hi Redwards86

Thanks for coming back to the thread, what phone/phone system is it you've got please?

Kind regards,

All people with this issue have this phone it seems. 

Thanks for confirming that for me, apologies I missed that.

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. 

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.

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.
