Landline goes dead after approx 10 secs

[SammieC1]

I moved house in Jan. Transferring Virgin with me. Since moving I have had issues with my landline. I am unable to use it. When receiving or making a call, after approx 10 secs the line will go dead. 

I have run VM several times. I have been told various things. Problem in my area, will clear after 24 hours, will clear after 48 hours, speak to BT technician.

Each call to VM lasts for a very LONG time.

I bought new phones thinking maybe that was the issue.

Has anyone had this issue or can help me? 

I raised a complaint online only to be told to ring the usual virgin phone number and my issue will be resolved. 

It hasn't so far!

I'm at my wits end and so frustrated. With receiving no help from VM.

I have run all the tests VM suggest to no avail. 

Thank you in anticipation

Hi SammieC1,

A warm welcome and thanks for posting on our community forums. We do apologise for the inconvenience and disruption caused due to the dropped calls your experiencing with your landline. 

As you have already tried another handset and you're not being affected by an area outage, we will need to investigate this further for you and possibly get an engineer booked to come and take a look for you.

I will pop you over a private message to take some details, click on the purple envelope to accept the chat. 

Kind regards Jodi.
