Caller Identification not working

[MuckyMoose]

Hi - hope someone can help me here.

Caller identification is not working on my BT Advanced Z phones . . . it WAS working until recently.  Now just says 'incoming call' EVEN IF the caller is in the phone contacts list.

I've tried turning off caller ID option in talktalk "my services" area - waiting 24+ hours then turning it back on again - - no fix.

I've done a full power cycle on our base station - - no fix

I've done a full reset on our phone handsets and base station back to factory settings - - no fix.

HELP please - we have to sit there and wait until the answerphone clicks in and listen to who is calling before picking up (or not)

Thanks in advance MuckyMoose

Further to last message.

Just spoken to tech guy re this ongoing issue - name of Shaz??

Anyway he's told me that BT openreach are now not going in until the 11th September to do the lift and shift.   WHAT!

I've been told by Zoe plus an other tech support that this had already been done - twice! Once this week and once last month.

Can you please tell me what is going on with your level of service and why this has now taken over a month to NOT fix the issue and to basically take me all the way back to what was supposed to have been done on the 14th August - AM I BEING LIED TO?

Hi

Just missed a call from Zoe from the "Service management center" re my ongoing problem with caller ID.

"Please call 0345 1720088 if I'm still having issues"

Well yes I am - can you NOT FIX THIS???

Can't even return her call as her number doesnt register because of my ongoing issue ARGHHHHHH

Hi Karl

Ive had a conversation with one of the network support teams on Tuesday/Weds - sorry didn't get his name.    He was going to get this sorted this week (Weds&Thurs) - reset option at talktalk, send in BT Openreach engineer to have tie card reset or changed, reboot a bit of kit at the exchange, sacrifice a chicken to Alexander Graham Bell etc etc  and then call me back today Friday with the good news

Well I'm sorry to say it hasn't worked.  Had 3 calls already this morning - no caller ID.

Tell your network support guy not to bother calling unless it's with some definitive information/solution.

Had enough of this now and I'm looking to change my telecoms suppliers as you're (Talktalk) are not providing the service I'm paying for

[Karl-TalkTalk]

Hi

I'll chase our network teams for an update for you.

Karl.

Hi Karl

OK I've gone out and bought a new phone to check the line just in case it was MY home phone that was the problem.

Installed new phone AND STILL NO CALLER ID coming through!!!

To say I am sick and tired of this issue is an understatement and I WILL be looking for recompense from Talktalk if and when you finally sort this issue out for me

I need this sorted out - I am paying (a lot) money for poor service.  This technical problem has been running for 21 days now!

GET IT SORTED

Hi

Openreach have completed the order, so I'll contact our Network teams and see what the next step is.

Thanks  

Karl.

Hi Karl.

Too much Tie fighter and not enough Tie bar at the exchange I think.

STILL NOT WORKING!

Can someone PLEASE sort this out ASAP

[Karl-TalkTalk]

Hi

There is an open request with Openreach to change the Tie Pair at the exchange.  This is scheduled to be completed today, and we can then check tomorrow

Thanks  

Karl.

Hi

I've had a couple of conversations with the tech support team now.

They were going to reset something on a server at the exchange - last week - didn't work

Then they were going to send a technician to the exchange and "plug my line into another bit of kit" - no idea if this has been done but I STILL DON'T have caller identification.

Getting a tad fed up with this now - can this fault rectification be expedited??

[Michelle-TalkTalk]

Good morning,

Thank you for testing this. I've passed this straight over to our Faults Escalation Team now and we'll post back as soon as we receive an update. It's possible that the team may also contact you directly.

Thanks

Hi Debbie

Just disconnected my home phone and tried them in the neighbours house who have BT home phone service.  My telephone worked perfectly - caller identification/number all working fine.

Back to you/talktalk

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi MuckyMoose

Thank you. If you have friends/family who have caller display on their line then if possible if you could test your phone there?

[MuckyMoose]

I'll have to see if I can borrow one.  My backup home phone is pre LCD technology!

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi @MuckyMoose 

Thanks for confirming.

Do you have a different phone that you can test with? Just to rule out any faults with the handset?

I've checked and it is enabled and active on the line.

[MuckyMoose]

Morning

The phone is connected to the master socket and always has been.  Nothing has changed here - had the same phone setup for several years

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi MuckyMoose

I'm sorry to hear this.

Can I just check, have you connected the phone directly at the test socket?

Is the phone usually connected to the master socket or an extension socket?

It will be on this thread and that is where the conversation should continue. You may get an email, but that is for notification purposes only and cannot be replied to.
