Landline not working

maxlugg
Dialled in

Hi,

My landline hasn't been working for at least 2 days. I get a dialling tone but any number I ring is engaged. When someone calls me, my phone rings but when I pick it up I get the engaged tone again.

The support page of the website doesn't work (it just goes round in a loop). I've tried calling support on my mobile but after being on hold for 5 minutes I was disconnected.

Hello,

Bumping this up.  14 days now and my phone still isn't working. The details are above, nothing has changed.

Can I PLEASE have someone out to fix this.

 

Hi @maxlugg, thanks for getting back to us.

Sorry to hear that your telephone service is still down.  As I cannot see that the area fault is still ongoing, I would like to look into your issue further.  I am going to send you a private message.  Please look out for the purple envelope in the top right of your screen.

Regards

The engineer attended yesterday and witnessed the fault. He told me he had been to two others in my area with exactly the same problem and he would log an I.T. issue. 

This morning I received an email:
Your Loss of Service (KMM94361652V58436L0KM)
We’re really sorry about your recent loss of service. The problem’s now been fixed and you should be up and running again.

IT ISN'T FIXED

On Monday I will have been without a phone for THREE WEEKS. Three times I have been told the fault has been fixed and it hasn't. 

This is unacceptable. I am at end of contract so I am now starting to look at other providers. If you can fix this issue please do it quickly.

Hi @maxlugg,

I'm so sorry to hear the issue is still ongoing and we'd hate for you to leave us!

As your phone is connected to the hub, could you try a reboot for me?

Let me know if the issue persists.

Hi @Ayisha_B

A reboot was the first thing I did, it made no difference.

Hello @maxlugg,

From what I can see on our system, there are no errors showing on your equipment or landline.

If there was recently an outage, then you would need to try unplugging all equipment, doing a hard reboot on the Hub and seeing if this refreshes everything,

Please try the above and let me know how it is for you.

Many thanks,

Hayley

Hello @Hayley_S

I have done that. I unplugged everything and did a hard reset (using the reset button). I also rebooted a second time. Still no joy.

I can't see there is anything more I can do at my end.  I have wasted far too much time trying to get this fixed, if VirginMedia can't sort it out then I have no option but to find another provider.

Looking at the number of threads in the forum plus the fact my neighbours also have the same problem I'd say there is a serious issue with the VM telephone service.
