I have a virgin mobile family plan with 4 phones. When any of us try to phone home to our virgin landline, the call frequently fails at the first attempt (probably more than 30% of attempts). The mobile doesn’t get a ring tone but the home phone rings. When answered, the mobile behaves as if connected (call timer starts counting up) but nothing is heard either end.

Does this happen on calls to other landlines?

Thanks for getting back to me @hashdef. As there are no outages or known wider issues at the moment I have arranged a tech-visit. You will find confirmation of the appointment via your online account (virg.in/myVM) and can reschedule from there if needed.
Please keep us updated with how that goes, or let us know if we can help with anything else.

I have exactly the same problem, and it's been going on for ages and seems to be getting worse. We have 3 Virgin mobiles, all three often (>50%) don't connect to the Virgin landline! The caller ID on the landline correctly identifies the incoming call from the mobile caller but the line on the landline remains dead. One of our mobiles, the one that calls the landline most often, sometimes at this point gets a crossed line and can hear other conversations including once a connection the Chelmsford City Council switchboard!. I have opened a formal complaint, spoken to a landline engineer, had a landline engineer call who could not help and a long conversation with a mobile service person who said he's reset the three mobile accounts although I don't think he understood the problem and told me it should be fixed, but immediately after the call the same fault was experienced.

Thanks for confirming your details @SixString.
I have removed your number from the network and re-added it, please can you check now to see if you can receive calls from Virgin Mobiles to your landline?

Hi SixString,
Thanks for letting us know, sorry to hear that the issue is still ongoing.
Have you been able to try calling the landline from a different mobile on a different mobile network at all to see if the calls fail from there also?
Can you please also confirm if you are able to make outbound calls from your landline to your mobiles without any issues?
If you could also please start logging dates and times of when the calls to your landline fail, just so we can see if there are any patterns and use them as references.
Many thanks
Beth
