No dial tone for the past few days - "Check line cord" message on the phone display.

Not sure if I have been switched over to VoIP or not, but my phone is connected to the wall socket (DECT base unit), and all handsets have no dial tone. Am I supposed to have received and adapter to plug the phone into the Hub?. Hub is in Modem mode with 3rd party router.

Thanks.

Hi @Kam65 thanks for posting and welcome back to our community.

Sorry to hear that your landline is not working for you and for any inconvenience this may be causing. Can you please advise, if you've tried using an alternative handset?  Because of the "pause" on migration to 21CV (telephone via your hub) I'm certain we won't have switched you over without consulting you.  For future reference, you may wish to check for potential faults in your area here.  That link would also allow you to login and book a technician if required.  Also, in the likelihood that you still have the traditional phone socket, connection you may find here and here, useful.  However, as you've reached out to us, I would love to have a look on your behalf. I am going to send you a private message.  Please keep an eye on your inbox in the top right of your screen.
Regards

Hi,

The engineer turned up, and said that we have an olde wiring system which needs to be upgraded to VoIP, as you are no longer maintaining the old wiring/systems. He then had us switched to VoIP and gave us an adapter to plug into the modem.

So, I have no idea what the fault was and why we had no service (obviously not our phone equipment).

 

 Thank you for the update. To confirm, is the service now working through the VoIP system?
