Not Receiving Incoming Calls
Not receiving any incoming calls?
If you're not receiving incoming calls on your landline, here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue.
1: Checking for a Dial Tone
- Check for a dial tone by picking up your telephone. If you have no dial tone, follow this article here
- Dial 17070 on your telephone to hear a readout of your telephone number (don't worry about pressing any options after the readout), this is just to check your number is correct. If you hear a number that's not your own, please contact us to investigate
- If you haven't already, test your telephone from the Master Test Socket in isolation. You can find a video on how to do this here.
2: Is the call being diverted?
- Check if you have Call Diversion on the line, ensure it's disabled
- If you're using multiple or a cordless telephone system, check all the phones are "on-hook" with no active calls taking place
- If using a fax or answering machine. Check this isn't automatically answering incoming calls
