Landline - ringing but it isn't

[michaelw2]

my landline has a dialing tone but when I call it says it's ringing but it isn't. But it rang before the change over to wifi?

Do I need a different phone it is a BT Phone.

Hi @michaelw2 thanks for the reply on the forums.

I'm sorry to hear about the issues with the landline.
There have been a number of reports of old BT models not working with the new VOIP line.
May I ask if you're able to see whether or not this handset has an issue on any other line? Potentially a neighbours etc?

Let us know.

Kind regards,
Ilyas.

Hi
I have ordered a ringing capacitor and hope it does the trick. I will let you know.

Thanks for coming back to us @michaelw2.

Do please keep us updated.

Can you possibly confirm when the handset was purchased?

It may be worth focusing on the post from @goslow in relation to this model being purchased in the early 2000's.

Kindest regards,

Hi David
I haven't ordered a handset just a ringing capacitor to plug into the router and then the phone into the capacitor.

Do you possibly know when the handset was ordered @michaelw2?

I'm curious if this might point towards the issue.

Hi
All fixed with the installation of a ring capacitor off ebay.
