Hi, My Father in law lost his home phone connection (standard POTS) two weeks ago.
He has called three Virgin support numbers in trying to get the line fixed.
He has had no notification that his line was due to be switched over, has received no adapter in post and when I log into the hub, the Telephony icon, is greyed out and shows it is not active.
For the above reasons I do not believe he has been switched over, or is due to be switched over and this is an old phone connection problem.
Unfortunately, the Virgin support team he has spoken to have not been able to arrange an engineer to resolve the situation as they seem to be preoccupied with users having problem switching over.
The dial tone is present however the line is suffering from very heavy static and making a call is not possible.
Who do we approach to get the old phone line problem investigated?

Hi @andybeeswax
Thanks for posting and welcome back to the community. Sorry to hear of your Father-In-Law's phone issue. I can however confirm that everyone due to be migrated have been sent multiple communications regarding this, including letter/email and calls. The adapter is sent 2/3 weeks prior to the phone migration.
I'll send you a PM now, get some details and we can assist further.
Best wishes.

All sorted the next day. Engineer came out and said they could either repair the old line or switch over to new router based phone line.
Switched over, visit took about 30 minutes and able to make calls straight away.
Great support from this forum, thanks again!
