HOME PHONE NOT WORKING

Since Saturday 3 August phone line is dead - handset says "Check phone line".  I reported this by phone to TalkTalk and got a text message from Openreach acknowledging the fault report, saying they would investigate and that tests indicated that the fault is external to the premises. Since then, nothing. I texted the Openreach number and was instructed to contact service provider. When I called again on the TalkTalk number all it said on an automatic message was that the fault was logged and then I was texted to look at the general technical support page which is useless. Texting back to them I just got the link text again and that number will not receive calls or voice messages. The chat bot refers only to broadband.  How can I get this acted on?

Good morning,

 

I've re-checked the fault ticket and we've received an update from Openreach to advise that they have cleared and closed the fault. Is your voice service now working ok for you?

 

Thanks

Morning @Flaneuse 

 

Openreach have advised that the fault has been assigned to an engineer this morning.

 

We should hopefully have further updates later this afternoon.

 

Thanks

Hi @Flaneuse 

 

We can request further updates from Openreach if they don't update the fault ticket.

 

They have updated the fault to say the contractors will be working on this fault. As soon as I receive further information then I will post back here and let you know.

 

Thanks again.

Thanks - I did finally get past the bot on the chat and got a similar reply. It is now up to Openreach - I hope you as service provider will chase them up.

Hi Flaneuse

 

Apologies for this.

 

I can see that this fault is currently with Openreach and they are awaiting contractors to complete work to resolve the cable fault.

 

I will monitor for additional updates and I will post back here as soon as I have further information.

 

Thanks

 

Debbie
