Caller display not working

Hi,

My service started yesterday and although my account states that caller display is active it isn’t working, I just get ‘external call’ on my phone’s display. 

I have tried *#234# and get the message sorry the service requested is not available.

How can I get this corrected please?

 

Many thanks,

Andy

Re: Caller display not working

Fix

Sorry to hear your caller display isn't working.

I've checked on our supplier's systems and it seems it wasn't active there despite being on your account.

This has now been added manually for you and it should be up and running within the hour.

Let us know if you're still having issues after.

Re: Caller display not working

@Annlogan Sorry to hear this.

So we can investigate further can you dial *#234# from the phone that you want to use for caller display. Listen to the message.

  • If it says ‘unavailable’, you don’t have caller display at the moment.
  • If it says ‘the service is disabled’, you can enable it by hanging up and dialling *234#.
  • If it says ‘identities will be displayed’, but your caller display isn’t working, you’ll either need to use a different phone, or try these steps.
    1. Plug a corded phone that’s compatible with caller display into the master socket (the master socket’s the first socket where the phone line comes into your home).
    2. Call your number from another phone

Let us know how you get on -Matt

Re: Caller display not working

@Annlogan We've removed and readded the caller display which should have fixed this

Re: Caller display not working

This needs a manual fix by the tech people at PlusNet.

Once they have monitored your post, they will prob be in touch to raise a ticket.  Mine was fixed within 24 hours.

It seems to be a known fault but, as ever with Plusnet, the service is quick & effective.

Re: Caller display not working

Hello Matthew

I have the same problem, with caller display not working on my phone and also being reported as unavailable on *#234# despite it showing as an "active" call features on my account dashboard.

 

Could you check this for me please?

 

Thanks
