Hi TAFFC,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the community.

Sorry to hear about the issues faced with the landline.

To clarify are you able to call out on the line?

Also how is your phone connected? Is it through the Hub or a wall socket?

Let us know,

Hi TAFFC, 

Thanks for coming back to us on this one. 

In order to help look at this, there are a few checks we will need to go through with you. Can you let me know the following please:

• Does the landline work if plugging a different handset into your socket?
• If you don't have another handset, are you able to try your handset in another socket?
• When calling any number, do you get any tone?
• When receiving calls, does your landline ring at all?

If you can come back and let me know the answers to the above we can then help further. 

Thanks, 

[TAFFC]

Hi TAFFC, 

Thanks for coming back to me so quickly on this. As this is a Forum, it can sometimes take us a little while to pick up your replies as we're working on other threads, channels and have breaks/lunches too. Don't worry though, when we pick your reply up, we do respond as soon as we can. 

We won't be able to fix this remotely so I would like to arrange for an engineer to come to take a look at this for you. 

I just need to confirm the address to ensure we are booking the visit on the correct account. I have sent you a private message regarding this. Just click on the little plum envelope at the top right-hand side of the page to access your inbox.

Thanks,
