New Hub 4 - Telephony Disabled

looks like I'm not the only one.

Received and installed my new Hub 4 today (upgraded from Hub 3).  Everything works except my landline.  Logging onto the hub I can see that it says 'Telephony (Disabled)'.

Everything worked on Hub 3 (except the daily kicking off WiFi at the most inopportune time).

It looks like they have disabled the telephone service else I think the error message would have said something more meaningful (I live in hope).  I try and phone a phone test and it tells me it can't perform one and that I need to speak to them.

I tried to call, spent 30 minutes listening to the same 5 songs (not my taste) until I gave up and hung up.

Someone, give me a reason not to switch providers when this contract is up for renewal.  You can gain customers with pricing, but you lose them with poor customer service.

my hub did an unexpected reboot this afternoon and now my phone works.

I think this may have been because I was not due to get the hub until today so there was part of the activation that was not schedule to cut across my phone service until today.

Very frustrating because this would be an easy thing to check and let your customers know if that was the case.  

This is now resolved.

I have exactly the same issue the OP described. Installed a new Hub 4 today to replace my Hub 3 and everything works fine...except telephony is disabled as shown in the Hub 4 admin menu.

I’ll give it 24 hours to see if this switched on. Good to know I’m not the only one having this issue!

Hello

When a hub is replaced it can take 24hrs for the phone line to be re-activated on the new hub.
