No green phone socekt on WiFi hub.

loulou64 — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 13:14:40 GMT

I've just been switched over to Full Fibre and the instructions are to plug my home phone into the green phone socket on the back of my Wi-Fi Hub. The trouble is, there isn't a green socket. Only a broadband one....

The Hub 2 comes with the Phone port covered with a bit of tape that you need to just peel off. The concern though is that you may not have been given a Hub 2 (FAST5464), but the other Sagemcom Hub the FAST5364, does not have a phone port on it. If that is the case I am sure that the support staff on this forum will change it for the Hub 2.

That's what I'm thinking but I've spent the morning going around in circles trying to find an actual TalkTalk person to advise me. I do hope someone will be on here soon and be able to assist!

I have asked one of TalkTalk's support to pick your thread up and replace it for you.

Hi loulou64,

As Keith says the port is usually covered with a piece of tape. If there's definitely no port please update your community profile to include your:

Name
Telephone number
Alternative contact number

We'll then look into this further. Please do not post this information on this thread. Once you've updated your profile please post in your topic to confirm it's updated.

Thanks
Chris

I've updated my profile but in the meantime, I've managed to find a link to a chat that's working and am being sent a voice adapter apparently, although I don't think that's what's required. I have to say, this has been a very frustrating excercise!

Hi loulou64

Thanks for your reply.

The digital voice adapter should work with your current router. Please let us know how you get on.

Hi loulou64

Have you received the digital voice adapter?

Re: No green phone socekt on WiFi hub.

loulou64 — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 15:36:43 GMT

No, Debbie, I haven't. I took delivery of a package today that turned out to be a cable with 2 parallel ports. What exactly I'm supposed to do with that I have no clue! Meanwhile, I was also expecting to have had a call from a customer service supervisor by yesterday (ie within 72 hours of logging a complaint) to discuss my disappointment with this entire process but as yet, nothing...and I've now been without my landline for a week and not holding out much hope of it being sorted anytime soon.

Is this delivery a Grandstream ATA?

Good morning,

I'm sorry for the delay. Was this a grandstream adapter? Have you been contacted since your last post?

Thanks

Michelle

loulou64 — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 12:41:24 GMT

No, it was actually a SCART cable!???

And still no communication from a supervisor despite being promised a call within 72 hours...

Hi loulou64,

I've ordered the digital voice adapter, it should be with you within a couple of working, apologies for the delay

After a few weeks away I've finally had a chance to connect all the new kit, (eero device and Grandstream Digital Voice Adapter) but despite having all 3 lights solidly lit on the Grandstream, I'm still unable to make or receive calls on my phone. Can you please suggest anything else to try?

Re: No green phone socekt on WiFi hub.

Chris-TalkTalk — Wed, 29 May 2024 11:00:52 GMT

Hi loulou64,

Can you try the following: Plug the DVA (grandstream) into the ONT, wait for the broadband light to come on then perform a pinhole reset of the DVA, this should get the phone light back on within about 5 mins, once that comes on can you change setup back to normal. Please let us know how you get on

loulou64 — Wed, 29 May 2024 11:22:02 GMT

I've tried the reset as suggeted but still no luck. I've just seen in the box though it can take up to an hour to first connect so I'm going to leave it for a while just in case I'm being to impatient...but this whole changeover process has been sooo

frustrating!

Re: No green phone socekt on WiFi hub.

Chris-TalkTalk — Wed, 29 May 2024 11:33:03 GMT

OK, if it's still not working in an hour please let me know

Chris

Still no joy, I'm afraid...

Morning,

I'm sorry to hear this. Just before I escalate this over could you try the below and let me know if there is any change please?

RESETTING YOUR DIGITAL VOICE ADAPTER

If your Digital Voice adapter or router has stopped working, we may ask you to reset it to check everything's working as intended. To do this:

Insert a pin or straightened paper clip into the hole labelled “Reset” on your Digital Voice adapter.
Slightly push and hold it in for up to 20 seconds; or until all the lights, apart from the power light, switch off. Once this happens release the reset button.
Factory reset of the device will take a full 15 minutes and you need to wait until the allotted time has passed for the full factory reset to be completed. After 15 minutes, check your Digital Voice adapter device and try to re-test to check if the issue resolved.

Thanks

Michelle

Hi Michelle,

I tried the factory reset as advised but still can't make or receive calls, I'm afraid...
