Land line dead - Any TalkTalk staff please help!

Justaskin2 — Sat, 08 Feb 2025 15:39:30 GMT

I'm doing this for my elderly next door neighbour.

She is with TalkTalk but only has a traditional landline phone. It is dead.

She has been with Talk Talk for several years now and never had broadband.

I have gone online for her and logged an account. Her package is Talk UK Anytime with Fibre.

I have run a line test and no problem was found. If I try to troubleshoot it requires a broadband router which she does not have.

I have plugged a basic phone into the master socket and still dead.

When you call the number from another phone it goes straight to TalkTalk voicemail.

I have been trying to find a way to chat/call TalkTalk with no success.

We need to get this sorted as she has just returned home from a hospital stay and needs her landline.

Can anyone help me please?

Staff here work normal office hours monday to friday.

To phone, try phoning 0345 172 0088

Opening Hours can be found here - https://community.talktalk.co.uk/t5/Articles/How-to-contact-TalkTalk-Broadband/ta-p/2230529#

If you wish to chat online, there is a link on this page together with details of opening hours

https://community.talktalk.co.uk/t5/articles/our-live-chat-team/ta-p/2230529

Due to GDPR requirements you may be best phoning so your neighbour can give their permission for you to speak on her behalf.

Do you know if she has ever registered as vulnerable? It may be something to consider going forward if not.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much, links look helpful. Is there an online way to register her as vulnerable do you know?

Scrub that I've found it in Profile Accessibility section.

Hi Justaskin2,

Hi Chris

if there is any assistance you can give me as I haven’t managed to get to sit down with her and as her landline isn’t working and mobile signal is very poor it’s going to be difficult.

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.
