Copper Landline £12 Monthly Charge

[stephengward]

Hi - I originally called TalkTalk to cancel my landline and switch to full fibre only as I didn't want to pay the £12 extra charge - I didn't realise there was an option to keep my landline number with digital voice 🤦

Anyway, I called back and the chap I spoke with changed my request so that I receive the digital voice option - would somebody be able to confirm this went through ok?

Also, the advisor I spoke with mentioned an engineer would visit and physically remove the copper cable and provide me with a voice adapter for my router? Apologies if I've overlooked it, but is there a section on here explaining fully how that works. 

Thanks in advance!

How did you raise a complaint? I thought I had also raised a complaint, but the help@talktalk email replied telling me to go to https://community.talktalk.co.uk/t5/FullFibre/bd-p/FutureFibre?lp_offsite=%7B%22accountId%22:%224595.... - I can't readily see how I can put in a complaint via that link 🤦

I'm going through the exactly same thing. No communication whatsoever from them.  Also spent three and half hours getting shifted from department to another with no result from it all. 

I feel they have not properly organised this migration for us all in the correct way - a sheer mess it is! Good luck with yours , if it happens.

Wel, I called last Friday, the 14th - apparently the adapter I was told would be sent to me doesn't exist and that I'm supposed to be getting a new router... I'm not feeling very confident that a) it'll arrive and b) I won't be able to keep my existing number. 

Why can't this process be done online with full confirmation of exactly what's ordered sent within minutes of the order?

I have had a similar torrid time trying to sort this, I responded to the letter sent, it took 5 different "advisors" to finally get the matter sorted, or so I thought. 

One of the first said I would be sent an adaptor to use in my router, another then said VOIP will not be in service in my area, no one could answer what would happen to the copper line with regard to removal either.  This does not instil confidence.

I had no choice but to raise a complaint, this was sort of answered and again I was told no VOIP available but the change over would be to a fibre only package, I have had no confirmation of what service I will actually be moved to. 

A day or two later I then get an email version of the letter but with a selection service option, which I did, again no response.

I have been out of contract now for 2 years so was contemplating a change, this may prompt me. 

My friend has had a similar change over by BT, no choice just happened, however they do not seem to charge for VOIP calls unlike TalkTalk.

The full fibre team have different systems so they will be able to confirm.

Hi - the order was made on Monday the 10th February, is it definitely not there?!😮
