New property - no dial tone.

Just moved into a new property and the fibre broadband mostly works fine, but I don't seem to have a dial tone from a phone. Does my line have phone calls enabled, or is there something else I need to do? The microfilter seems to work fine but the phone itself won't work when plugged into the microfilter or directly into the master socket. Thanks.

Re: New property - no dial tone.

This can happen if there is a fault between the fibre cabinet and exchange. You need to report a phone fault to whoever supplies your phone service. If it's Plusnet then this link may help: https://www.plus.net/help/phone/phone-line-troubleshooting/ If you follow the link for reporting no dial tone it should automatically report a fault.

Sorry to hear you're having problems with your phone service.

If you can PM me your username I'll be happy to look into this.

Re: New property - no dial tone.

Thanks for your username and for doing the troubleshooting steps on your side.

Our tests are showing a potential issue at the exchange which I've raised to Openreach now.

We'll be in touch when we've got more info.
