Line sounds like it smokes 60 a day

Used phone for first time since switch yesterday and my god it's unusable it has this crackling noise or an extra heavy breathing sound if u smoked 60 a day for 60 year.

Thought oh maybe it's the actual phone as not been used for over 2 year so bought new one tried again and still same so tried do a phoneline test online using pn support bit and it tells you to hold on then loads a oops something stopped us doing test try again or words to that affect so any staff can do a test that be great i cant be doing with ages on live chat for something i don't use much.

Noisy phone will have adverse effect on your broadband so needs fixing.

Use the faults page, phone or CHAT; no alternatives.

Testing the line doesn't actually encounter any obvious issues. Does your socket have a built in filter, or are you using a microfilter?

Microfilters but been changed tried phone today and it's ok so not sure if was maybe just a short term issue or something my broadband connection doesn't have any issues as normally would with line fault im guessing.

It's not a big deal tbh unless it does effect the broadband if comes back as never use the phone first time in 2 years id used house phone.

Fair enough, well let us know if it happens again. however I can't see this being an ongoing issue.
