Caller Display not working

Message 46 of 46

Good morning,

Caller Display stopped working about 2 weeks ago, the display shows "External Call".

All 3 handsets show the same message.

Caller Display is shown as active in my account settings.

I have tried the following:

1. Remove the Caller Display option and confirm it's removed, then add it back on. 

2. Power down the base unit for a few minutes.

3. Reset the base units and handsets.

None of this has worked, so I assume it must be a fault your end.

Regards

Adrian

Hi Michelle

 

I appreciate your help in this

 

The fact that this is the third time they've failed to call me (and will probably cite a problem at their end yet again) is ridiculous. If the technical problem of contacting me is theirs maybe it's related to the Caller Display issue that I'm having. No one else is having trouble contacting me on the landline.

 

I should be available all day today for them to contact me.

Hi Adrian,

 

I'm very annoyed that you haven't been contacted again as promised. I've contacted the Faults Escalation manager now.

Hi Michelle

 

I was supposed to get a call 2-4pm. Nothing.

 

Another wasted afternoon.

 

When I eventually get to talk to the agent she will apologise and again probably blame a fault on their side which puts her through to a totally unrelated number. What chance do I stand if they can't sort their own problems out?

Thanks Adrian, hopefully the card reset overnight will resolve the Caller Display fault. I'll check back with you in the morning.

Well, there's a surprise.

 

No call from the faults team as arranged AGAIN, still no caller display. Still not getting the service I pay for.

 

I've been with TalkTalk for about 18 years, right from the beginning. Through thick and thin. Why do I bother? NO MORE!!!

When my renewal is due I'm off, unless this issue can be sorted ASAP.

Hi Michelle

 

Just tried the new phone and it's still not working☹️. Looks like back to square one.

 

If the team can call me today I'm available all afternoon.

Hi Michelle

 

Yes they did call and we agreed that I would try a different phone to see if that worked. I explained that I had done this already but it was an older spare one that I had. I can't remember why we replaced it nor why we kept it! 😕With the possibility that one is also not working properly, I've got a new phone being delivered today.

 

We've arranged for her to call me back tomorrow afternoon, but if the new phone works I'll update you straight away.

While I was on the phone this morning I had a missed call from 0800955544, but no message left. Is this a TalkTalk number?
