Intermittent dial tone

Hi,

I get these weird beeps before my phone actually dials a number. I called 150, and was told this was an intermittent dial tone, and that it just meant that I had a voicemail (and to call 1571). 

I called 1571 and no voicemail was waiting. I finished the initial setup of the voicemail (I'm relatively new to Virgin), and hoped that that would do it, but no, I still have the funny tones before the phone dials the number I've put in.

Any ideas? I've done some searching and I'm not in the Midlands! I see someone else had this issue and someone from Virgin did something in the backend to fix it. Hopefully someone will pick up on this.

Hi there Witchy43,

 

We have checked some things here for you and all is looking tip top - please can you try calling your landline and leaving a voicemail message. 

 

Then call 1471 from the landline to listen and delete the message and this should clear the stuttered dial tone. 

 

Give it a go and let us know how you get on. 

 

Cheers
