Re: Landline or mobile problem?

@brfoster365  Welcome to the forum.

For a start ring17070 from your landline and check that it is replying with the correct number.

Re: Landline or mobile problem?

Thankyou

I tried 17070 and my phone number is correct. 

My mobile is with Sky which is O2. I can even call my landline from my Mobile.

Sky say its Plusnet, and Plusnet say its Sky mobile?

Bit of a dilemma as I was with NOW Broadband and have only had the problem since the changeover last week

Thanks for your help

Your two posts conflict. Which way around do calls fail to connect? Whichever it is that can’t be called, do calls from other phones get through?

@brfoster365 

Next questions, sorry for them all:

Can any-one else ring you on your landline number?

Am I correct in assuming that you are a new subscriber? If so, is it a new landline number allocated by Plusnet or has it been ported across from your last ISP? If so, who?

@brfoster365 

So you can make calls from your landline phone and everything else can call your landline phone. This sounds like a mobile problem to me.

You haven’t  by any chance confused things by trying to use WiFi calling and you haven’t configured it for your new hub?

Re: Landline or mobile problem?

Hey @brfoster365, thanks a lot for raising this with us. Sometimes, a number import doesn't complete across all Openreach systems, so I've just had a quick word with their Migrations Services Team and have been advised that there doesn't seem to be any issues, however they've raised the matter with Sky to see if there's anything that needs doing on their end. 

 

I'll follow this up with you on Friday and will be in touch. Smiley

Re: Landline or mobile problem?

Checked to make sure its not configured for calling using wifi.

I'm more convinced its a sky mobile problem.

Thanks for your suggestion

Re: Landline or mobile problem?

Thanks @adam945 very much for your help in this matter.

I have raised it with  Sky Mobile Community yesterday, nothing so far.

I'll post any replies I get from them.

Re: Landline or mobile problem?

Great stuff, thanks a lot for letting us know. Yeah I'm 99% sure it's an issue on Sky Mobile's side, but we'll see. I'll be contacting Migration Services again on Friday for a further update. Smiley

Re: Landline or mobile problem?

There might be merit in identifying the range holder of the land line number. That may give Sky some clues over why their routing of the call from Sky mobile is going wrong.

It would be interesting to see if the number, when called from a Sky landline also misroutes.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Re: Landline or mobile problem?

Thanks @Townman,

If I call the Sky mobile mobile from my landline it does connect OK, and registers as the correct number.

I think this is what you mean ?

All very quiet from Sky Mobile community..
