As I understand it the problem is with the hub not the phone connected to it . This has been known since June Virgin are not capable of sorting it out and need to go back to the hub manufacturer to initiate a update. I have to delete about 10 no number calls each day.

The VOIP no number calls sounds very much like Direct IP (SPIT) calls.

Spam over Internet Telephony (SPIT) is a process of placing a VOIP call to a public IP and using the default SIP port 5060 in the hope of it being routed to a functioning telephone.

    It isn’t that. The calls that log on the handset don’t show up on 1471 for example.

    "As previously advised, not all landline phones will be compatible with our services." 

    That's odd. As of this afternoon the VM website advises

    "Will I have to change my home phone?

    No, you can keep using the same phone you’ve always used. The new fibre phone line is designed to work with the same phones as the old copper line."

    One would not expect 1471 to have any clue about Direct IP calls.

    The phone doesn’t even ring though. 

    I’ve tried turning off the call garden off and it still logs the missed calls but the phone doesn’t ring.

    Perhaps as well, SPIT calls are seldom welcome.
