I've returned from holiday to find the message Check Phone Line.  There is no dialling tone.  What do I need to do?

Hi Veralou53,

 

Latest line test is picking up a problem that requires that we raise this as a non-appointed task so I've raise this to Openreach, they'll investigate over the next 72 hours and may contact you directly if they need to access your home

OK, if you'd like us to arrange an engineer visit can you confirm:

 

  • That you accept potential Engineers charges
  • Provide availability, either AM (8am to 1pm) or PM (1pm to 6pm) between Monday to Friday.

Thanks

I’ve tried my neighbour’s handset in my phone socket and it just buzzes. The handset works fine in their socket

Hi @Veralou53 

 

If you only have access to one handset, you can test that handset at a friend or neighbours house.  If the phone is simply plugged in and has a clear dial tone, then that proves the handset is working as it should.

 

The reason we ask this, if we send an engineer and they connect a phone, and all is working, proving the handset is at fault, then they will charge you £75 for the call out.  This is something we wish to avoid before we send an engineer to you.

 

Thanks  

Karl.

Hi Veralou53,


Do you have access to another telephone that you can test with?

There isn’t a dialling tone just a buzzing sound even when it’s in the test socket.

Hi

 

Line tests show a possible loop fault near the premises - usually this is 2 wires close or touching.

 

Can you disconnect all equipment and just connect the phone only to the master socket or 'Test Socket' if you have one, and see if there is a dial tone.

 

Thanks  

Karl.
