Hi, we're due to have our phone and broadband switched to plusnet (from bt and talk talk respectively) on Friday. I didn't expect anything to happen before then however something's happened to our phone line. We can receive calls but get no dialling tone anymore. Our broadband is still ok. I checked bt service status page and it's not reporting a fault on our line. Could this be anything to do with the switch, so I should sit tight (I'm not that fussed if I can't make calls for a few days) or do I need to chase up bt to fix a possible fault? It seems like too much of a coincidence since nothing like this has happened before.
Thanks
Thanks

I got them to run a line check from the "My BT" page however it didn't report a fault. I don't want to start wasting money on calling a BT engineer if this is something to do with the switchover, it seems like too much of a coincidence to me.

It could just be a handset or local/internal wiring fault, how many handsets have you tried? Wired or cordless? Extension socket, master socket and Test socket?

Well the fault seems to have fixed itself. I tried the test socket and initially still had no tone, however on a whim tried dialling a number anyway and it kicked into life. Then put it all back together again and it all seems to be fine. Very odd. Thanks for the replies.
