New phone adapter to attach to hub, phone now not working

[NFC1of3]

Landline was switched off on Monday 21st November. I've connected my phone to the hub3 via the new adapter previously provided & followed all instructions. Switched my hub off completely & let it reboot & checked all cables are attached correctly & securely. My phone screen shows "check phone line" - the message it would display when not connected to a landline. There is no dial tone & unable to make calls. Everything else is working, I work from home & broadband is fine. Unable to find a chat option on Virginmedia website to get help as I can't call for help from the landline as it's now not working. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for your post on our Community Forums @NFC1of3, and a very warm welcome to you!

Sorry to hear of the landline issues since the switching over to the router based phone line.

Can you please confirm if you've been able to try an alternative handset in the provided RJ11 adapter?

Kindest regards,

Hi,

Yes, my other handset also shows "check phone line". the line is dead, unable to use the phone, no dial tone. I have disconnected & carefully reconnected everything, rebooted the hub......broadband is working fine as my home PC & work laptop are connected & working. When rebooting the hub all icons showed green & went off after a few minutes & I have the white light at the bottom of the hub as normal.
