No dial tone for months

We have no dial tone on our home phone and have not been able to use it for months. It started with a really crackly line and then just went off completely. The broadband still works. I have constantly reported the line but they just keep saying fault fixed. It is not fixed. I am fed up with paying for a service I am not receiving.  My line is required for emergency response to my Mother-in-law's care line. Please can you sort this out. Thank you.

Hi Pam

 

Do you still need help with this? Would you like us to arrange an Openreach engineer visit?

Hi Pam

 

I'm really sorry to hear this.

 

The line tests are clear - No faults detected.

 

Can I just check, have you tested with a different phone directly at the test socket?

 

The next step will be an Openreach engineer visit to the property.

 

Thanks

 

Debbie

I would always report a serious fault directly with Talktalk via phone or Chat support, @PamBuxton.

 

That way you know a fault is being properly addressed. My Connections (via Service Status Dashboard) is somewhat wayward, and keeps removing faults despite them not being sorted. 

 

Full details of opening hours are here:

If properly recorded when reported, you should be compensated for the total loss of service, c a month after it's resolved.

Make sure that you add your Talktalk landline number to your community forum profile details for TT staff to identify your account.

Staff will reply after the weekend.
