No dial tone / crackling on landline

My landline phone has no dial tone. You can hear a crackling sound on the line, and dialing a number doesn't work. We thought this was a problem with the phone, so we bought a new one, but we're still having the same problem. We'd like to have an engineer take a look. Thanks in advance.

Hello stevenw_1, 

Sorry to hear this is happening to your line. 

I can look into this for you and arrange an engineer.
If you don't mind, I will need to send you a private message to pass security. 
If you can check the purple envelope top right of your screen that would be great. 
Regards

We have no dial tone on our landline, all you can hear is crackling. We had an engineer come take a look (No dial tone / crackling on landline - Virgin Media Community - 5042905), and for a while, it was fine, but now we're seeing the same problem.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @stevenw_1,

Welcome back, thanks for posting.

I am sorry for the issues with your landline.

Can you please tell me if your phone is connected to a master telephone socket? Or an extension telephone socket? The master one should have a Virgin media logo (infinity sign) on it. The extension one is small and no writing on it.

Many thanks,

Hayley

It looks like an extension telephone socket.

I can see you didn't respond to our colleague on the other post you created. 

 

I will send you over a private message to confirm some details.
