No telephone line but broadband is fine

HI, my broadband is working perfectly but my landline has no line and gives a engaged tone if I call it from a mobile.

I recently switched from sky.

Any help would be great

Thanks

Re: No telephone line but broadband is fine

Hi Brett, sorry to hear you're having phone issues and welcome to the Community Forums.
I've tested your line from this side and it isn't finding any faults whilst testing although it doesn't necessarily mean there isn't one. It does mean however we would go down the route of arranging an engineer to come out and investigate however before doing so I'd recommend doing 1 check your side to rule the problem out from being caused by something internal.
If you could plug the phone directly into the test socket behind the faceplate of your master socket, this will rule out internal wiring, extension sockets and the face plate it's self which can all go faulty.
For the sake of ruling as many things out as possible I'd also recommend disconnecting the router for a period of time in this set-up so you can try the mobile call again to see if the same thing happens. If possible I'd also recommend trying another handset as this could be the cause.
 How to locate the test socket and set your connection into it can be found here:
https://community.plus.net/t5/Library/Testing-From-The-Master-Socket/ba-p/1322242

If the problem persists from here we know it's nothing internal and we could safely go down the route of an engineer without the risk of £65 unneeded engineer charge if the problem was found to be with one of the above things. (Although the charge could still be applicable if the arrange appointment was missed or cancelled within 2 days of the appointment.)
Let us know how it goes after the above check.

Kind regards,

Hi, I have checked with another phone by just plugging it into the master and the problem is persisting. Could we now escalate the issue so that it can repaired. Thanks

Re: No telephone line but broadband is fine

Sounds to me like a number porting issue.

Fix

It looks like there was a problem at the cabinet.

Everything working now?

Re: No telephone line but broadband is fine

How do I go about getting a refund for the time spent without a landline ?

Thanks
