Dead phone line

Hi

My home phone line has been dead for a couple of days.

No dial tone, nothing.

Have tried using the test socket - still no line.

Tried with a corded phone - same result.

Phoned in using my mobile phone - it rings (on the mobile phone) then voicemail cuts in.No ringing in the house.

Tried the phone troubleshooter twice - test showed result was inconclusive.

Tried your phone helpline. Got through then wanted me to press number buttons. As I am using a mobile phone there were no numbers on the screen I could press.

My fibre optic broadband is working fine.

A restoration of my phone line would be appreciated.

What mobile phone are you using?

Does it not have a button to allow access to the key pad during a phone call, as in this on an iPhone?

Good morning @MorningGory
