LANDLINE DEAD

[frustrateduser5]

I have spent hours trying to get in touch. The online help goes round in ineffective circles. I have made 8 calls from my mobile taking hours,  The call back option does not work. I have carried out all the checks - my equipment is fine.  The line is down.  My broadband and TV are fine. I need to have the system checked. The line has been down now for over a week.

Hi there frustrateduser5.

Welcome to the community.

Apologies for the phone issues you're facing, can I ask regarding the line, do you have just the one landline in the property?

Also have you tried a different piece of phone equipment since the issue?

Let us know,

[frustrateduser5]

Hi Kain.

Yes just the one number [REMOVED].  Have tried different phone equipment and that has no dialling tone either- just a faint buzz. Message on phone says "Check phone line"  TV and Broadband work fine. Calls to my landline give the sound of ringing but the phones themselves are silent.

Thank you @frustrateduser5

Are you plugged into the master socket? It will have a larger socket and contain a logo of Virgin Media, NTL, Telewest or Nynex. Any extension sockets will be smaller and have no logo.

Please pop back to us when you can.

Yes.  It has the Virgin Media logo on it.

Hi there @frustrateduser5

I'm so sorry to hear that you have been facing this issue with us. 

I think it would be best for us to get an engineer out to take a look for us. I will pop you a PM now so we can arrange this. 

Please keep an eye out for the purple envelope in the top right corner of your screen alerting you to a new message. 

Thank you.
