Anyone understand phones?

[bearded bloke]

I should probably add that I know the info in previous posts is correct as it was what happened to me last year when the BT engineer who connect us to Total Broadband stuffed up & only connected one wire in the roadside box resulting in having broadband but no phone

BT were here about a year ago when I went onto Infinity and they had to do some rewiring in the house then. So that bit should be OK All will be revealed soon - I hope!

My intermittent fault (earth fault) turned out to be (embarrassingly) due to cat's spraying in the corner of the room where the socket is. :O

I gave my two mogs a right good talking to - not that this cut much ice with Mr BT, who had had his mush stuffed down in the corner where the socket is. Assuming that his hooter was up to snuff, at least the diagnosis was not tricky!

You're all being rotten to BB - he was trying to help me, now leave him alone
Looking at your piccie again, when I took the front off mine there were lots of wires in the cavity to the left. Lots of skinny little wires. So many it was difficult to stuff them all back in again

Hi VC. Any batteries for the phone need replacing? Or, charger gone bad or unplugged?

[veggiechicken]

Hi Dusty, No I've checked them all. The 3 cordless ones all say "check telephone line". When I dial a number there's just an empty noise, as if the line isn't completely dead, but there's also no dial tone when I dial. Ah well, nobody ever rings me anyway unless they're trying to sell something!

Guess it will have to be door-to-door from now on

Do you have an old phone you can plug in as a tester?

[veggiechicken]

I was going to say something derogatory about International Callers then remembered that you could be one But you wouldn't ring me and say "My name's Charles and I'm calling about the world wide web" - as one did yesterday

Two of the corded ones are very basic (and old!) Tried them both in a couple of sockets.
