Caller Display not working

Message 37 of 37

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

Morning Adrian,

 

I'm really sorry to hear this. I've contacted the team now and have asked them to provide an update ASAP. I'll let you know as soon as they respond to me.

 

Thanks

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.

Thanks Michelle

 

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

Hi Michelle

 

The faults team didn't call me today as agreed.

Whatever she tried didn't work. Still not fixed.

I'm around most of today and tomorrow to take a call from them.

Hi Adrian,

 

Thank you. I've passed your availability over now. To be honest I'm not too sure but hopefully my colleagues in our Faults Escalation Team can advise on this.

Anytime today or tomorrow afternoon would be best.

 

Any idea what the email is for that I mentioned?

Hi Michelle

Sorry not replied sooner but I am very busy at the moment.

I had a garbled message left this morning asking me to call back. I managed to decipher the number (03451720088) which  I called and is customer service not a technical team. I was told there are very long waits on the lines, so I hung up. I don't have time to sit in a queue, so could you get whoever it was to call me again please?

 

I also had a strange email from talktalk about openreach terms and conditions which apparently was mentioned to me. I haven't spoken to anyone and have no idea what this is.
