Re: Telephone line not working

Had plus net fibre optic  BB fitted last week when I wasn't in , the engineer changed the master socket  and looked at the other sockets down stairs but my wife forget to mention the other fixed socket upstairs in the spare bedroom/office  hence now the fixed line telephone  up there now doesn't work is there anything I can do to put this right or do I need to get a engineer in???

Re: Telephone line not working

Was the entire master socket replaced? The standard install of fitting an interstitial filter (the part which sits in between the back piece with the logo and the lower front piece with the socket) on the existing socket should not affect any extension wiring connected to it (save for a cable getting accidentally pulled out).
Does it not work at all, or does it simply not ring?

Re: Telephone line not working

If it was completely replaced which sounds like it was the case, it would then need connecting up-to the new master socket. But as CX has just mentioned is it not working at all or is it just not ringing?
