Landline phone not working after incoming call did not replace receiver

[willtup2]

Hi there has anyone any experience with receiving a call on a landline phone then the caller not replacing the handset /disconnecting and therefore the line remains active ? I now cannot ring out or receive calls - spoke to VM several times who dont have a clue what to do to fix this. When i pick up the phone I get an empty vacant sound but no dial tone. Have agreed to VM sending an engineer but think this would surely be a problem better addressed their end as it seems to me that it should just be a case of resetting the line at the exchange ?? VM's solutions suggested so far have been to disconnect me completely !! or to give me a new telephone number ?? I am just exasperated at this point !

Hi @willtup2 

Is the landline through a normal wall socket? Or through the VM router?

Please try the following.

If it's via the wall socket just remove the handset for a minute or two and plug back in. That should break the circuit.

If it's via the VM router either reboot the router or switch it off fgr a few minutes.
