I agree the problem is device specific. The device is VM 's kit..
The number of logged “No Number” calls on my BT8610 handset since this Wednesday to Thursday with these times on the handset calls list.
11.37, 12.27, 13.17, 14.07, 14.57, 16.37, 19.57, 20.47, 21.37, 22.27 - these are on Thursday and now in to Friday, 63.07, 5.07, 5.57,14.17, 15.07 then it changes to 8’s 15.58,16.48,17.38, 18.28, 19.18, 20.08, 20.58, 21.48,22.38, 23.28 making 25 over 24hr period.
As of this Saturday morning I have eleven No Numbers as you can see.
The light was flashing on the answer machine, pressed play and nothing, no message and no ringing. Pressed button to view and then delete those 11 “No Numbers” from the calls list and screen display showed “Not currently available”
Pressed every other button on the answer machine and nothing happened. I then pressed green button as if to make an out going call and saw this displayed on the screen.
I realised that the phantom No Number call was still active and although I looked at my phone at 8.59. I then switched off the answer machine and then back on and then able to see the calls list and delete all the “No Number” calls showing. As I was deleting them I noticed one phantom "No Number” calls timed at 8.28 and my thoughts was the length of time of 31 minutes my landline phone was not physically working and despite what the Call Guardian message was showing no further incoming calls or outbound call could be made till switching the answer machine on/off.
This is the first time I’ve come across this happening and don’t know if anybody else has experienced it. VM,What concerns me is any anyone having to rely on a landline to make a call to the emergency services and can’t to it because of this.
If Ayisha_B from Forum Team is saying “The route cause is located on the handsets’ sensitivity to power fluctuations received from the Hub” then the power fluctuations made my phone inactive for approx 31 minutes or it could have gone on for longer if I had not spotted. This is not on VM.

Thats exactly what i am seeing too. Thes 'no-name / no-number' calls are hanging up the line for the duration as the phone ACTUALLY believes there is an incoming call in progress. This is quite serious now. Maybe a forum member could answer whether or not VM would treat a cancellation of my package in these circumstances as needing an early repayment charge as i am now considering leaving and going elsewhere. At the very least we should get a reduction in our overall package allowing me to withdraw from my phone service and reinstate it elsewhere if VM seem incapably ignorant of ways to fix. Quite easy ... they should provide compatible equipment to those fee payers affected.
Comment please VM.
- TKD3 years agoOn our wavelengthyes gc1028 same thing with me couldn't make any calls untill answer machine sorted I have bt8500 advanced phone all the call times end with the digit 8 with a few call time listed as 63.18, 63.38 and 63.58 how is this possible? I would just like to say this never happened with sky, oh and while I'm in the mood to cancel my VM I've realised it actually changes the time on my handset too, this is a ridiculous state of affairs.
