My phone does not ring

I think a few people have had this problem but since changing from BT to Plusnet my phones do not ring. I have tried using the bt test socket and still no ring even though the phone lights up! Any answers out there.

Re: My phone does not ring

Hi @spitfiresteve,

 

I'm sorry to hear that you've had no dial tone on your phones since moving over to us. I've tested your line from this side but unfortunately the test isn't picking up the cause of this problem.

 

You can troubleshoot and report phone issues here, please let us know when you've reported it and we'll then be able to look into this further for you.

Hi Emily

 

I have tried all the options and do have a dialing tone when making a call but no ring when receiving a call.

Can I report this here?

Re: My phone does not ring

Thank you for running through the troubleshooting checks. We can certainly look into this further for you from this side, however we're unable to raise it as a fault from here. Please can you report a fault through the phone line checker here and let us know when you've completed it - this will then allow us to progress this further for you.

Can you dial out?

This has all of the hallmarks of you having some one else's phone line.  If you dial 17070 does it report the number you expect?

Is your broadband working OK?  Is it FTTC?
