Re: Constant engaged tone

Sounds like you have a short somewhere on the line, have you tried just plugging in the test socket?

Re: Constant engaged tone

Yep did all the usual test socket with my new spare phone.

I need one of the staff to pick this up as obviously i can,t phone anyone to report it.Sad

Re: Constant engaged tone

Don't you have a mobile phone? The 0800 number is free on mobiles.

PN staff are thin on the ground this weekend, a call is likely to be quicker than one picking this up.

Re: Constant engaged tone

I wasn't sure how far that one went with regards to testing the phone line as it won't let me continue because my line is with BT Sad
