landline phone not ringing

oggy2uk1 — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 09:38:26 GMT

I seem to have a problem we can ring out and the internet is working but we do not get a ring on the phone when someone tries to ring us. We have tried a different phone and plugged it in the master socket and it still the same. We have call safe could this be causing the problem?

Morning,

Can you please update your community profile to include your:

Name
TalkTalk 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

Michelle

Hello,

Thank you. I've run a few tests on the line now which are clear. Does your main socket have a test socket please?

Yes I have tried this and still have the same problem, I have tried ringing the house from my mobile and we can answer it but the phone did not ring to notify the call. We have the call safe option which screens incoming calls could this be the problem?

Hello,

Thanks for confirming. Have you only just turned CallSafe on? When you tested with the 2 different handsets at the test socket (behind the faceplate) did you also remove the router from the line?

Thanks

We did have call safe before we renewed our phone package, it seems to have started from then. Yes I did remove the router.

Hi,

If you log into CallSafe in your My Account, does it show any calls that are blocked? If not then the next step would be to arrange an engineer visit to the property if all testing has been completed at the test socket with different handsets. Can I also just ask, if you lift the phone up when you are calling your number does the call connect?

Thanks

Michelle

Hi,

Thanks for checking. The next step will be to arrange an engineer visit to the property. Please can you confirm acceptance of potential time related engineer charges and also provide a few days availability AM (8-1) and PM (1-6) and we can book the next available visit for you.

Thanks

Michelle

Hello,

Apologies, I'm not able to arrange the engineer visit via the Community, however I have escalated this to the correct team for you now and have asked that they contact you ASAP to arrange an engineer visit.

Thanks
