New digital "VOIP" service not working
Hi I noticed about a week ago that our Virgin landline was not working. There was no dial tone and if you try to call the landline you just get a message saying the call cannot be completed. I also tried calling the landline with the phone removed from the wall socket in case the phone was faulty but no difference. I called VM and a very helpful gentleman said it was because my area had been switched over to "digital VOIP". I was a little surprised about this because although I had received emails about the switch over I had not received anything indicating that it was actually happening to my line, but the Virgin rep assured me that this was the reason. Just as well I do not use the phone line for any emergency services!! After asking a number of questions to verify that I qualified for the switchover the Virgin rep said that he would send out an adapter and when it arrived just plug it in to port 1 (upper port) of the phone socket in the router and then power cycle the router and the phone should switch across. The adapter arrived yesterday and I followed this procedure but nothing has changed. No dial tone at the phone (I've tried two separate phones) and if you dial the landline number you still get the can't connect message. Checking the router the status overview indicates that telephony is disabled, so my guess is that VM haven't enabled my router for telephony. I was wondering if someone from VM could check into this for me. Thanks Will
