For the past few months our BT8610 handset has stopped allowing numbers in our contacts to ring straight through (requiring them to announce themselves and be approved). We've had this phone and been with Plusnet for years with it all working fine - to my knowledge nothing has changed to cause this. Caller Display appears as an add on on my account page.
Today I've had time to investigate and realised that the phone isn't receiving any caller information to display. I dialled *#234# and discovered that the caller display was switched off (how?!) so I've switched it back on and now calling *#234# I get the message saying that "callers' identities will be displayed". But nothing has changed - the phone is still not displaying the number as it used to and so can't distinguish friend from foe.
Do I just need to wait for the fact that I've switched it on to register somewhere? I'm concerned that as I have no idea how it got switched off, the problem may be more complicated.
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Have you changed recently from ADSL to FTTC broadband?

No, we've changed nothing for over a year - that's what's so odd.

Hi there, I've just performed some tests on your line which aren't showing us any obvious causes for the issue. With that in mind would you be able to get your hands on a different handset to try out in case that's the issue?

Duff filters have been know to cause this issue...

We no longer have separate filters... I can't remember exactly the technical details, but we were told to remove them years ago, possibly when we switched to fibre.

I've just tried with my neighbour's phone - still no caller display so I think the information isn't arriving here.

If it still does not work, then it is likely to be the line card in the exchange.

Okay, that makes sense. I've just tried plugging the phone into the master socket and there's still no caller ID. What needs to be done about the line card in the exchange? Do I need to do something to get that addressed?

You having done more tests, I would hope that a Plusnet staff member will pick this up and escalate it to BTOR engineering.

I hope this can be sorted soon - I've just had a call from someone offering to sell me a nuisance call blocking service!!

Not at the moment, thanks - the person I spoke to yesterday has hatched a plan and is going to check in with me on Monday morning to see if it's worked.
