Sky Talk Technical

[jag215]

I have sky talk connection since 2009. From last two days my phone is not working. I am not able to make any outgoing calls and if I call from my mobile it is directly going to voice mail and saying that the person you are calling is busy. From last two days I am not able to make or receive any calls. I tried all the trouble shooting steps mentioned in the web site, but still it is not working. I called customer support from another phone, even after holding for 20 minutes also nobody attended my call it is really irritating and waste of my money. I have given complaint by e mail also, but till now no response.

I hope after reading this some body from customer support will responde.

Well thought I'd post a quick update, yesterday morning at about 7am I had a call from a BT engineer who said he would be around to look at the line at 8am, once he came in he plugged into the telephone line and straight away found the fault, it appears that the phone line was never connected at the exchange point.

So he popped out and was back in about 10mins he then did another line test and everything was now working fine so finally I can get back online and use my house phone with no problems.

Funny thing about this though is that Sky where meant to contact me with a date and time that the BT engineer was going to be coming round, which never happened this was quite annoying as I leave the house to goto work at 7:10am so I was quite lucky that the BT engineer called me at 7am so I knew to wait in for him, otherwise I would have missed him (misses started work at 6am) and would have had to probably wait for another couple of days for him to come back out.

I still feel for anyone else who comes across these problems, 3 weeks is a long time to wait to have a fault fixed, when I was with BT in the old house faults where usually fixed within 24hours. I only went with sky this time to keep my monthly outgoings in one neat bill.

So basically after 3 weeks the fault was finally solved and I'm now happy and I understand that not everything can run smoothly all the time every time so no hard feelings Sky

Also thanks to the forum support team for keeping in touch with me throughout this, much better customer service than the one offered on the phone, also thanks for understanding my frustration and helping me as much as you did

Just wanted to post an update that, after waiting in til 1.30pm on Tuesday, I found out (after 20 mins on hold) that an engineer appointment had not been made and that, although the problem had been identified on Friday, nothing had been done to fix it and I had falsely been told an engineer would be attending the property. Thankfully the fault has been fixed after 2 weeks but not before I've spent £10 on mobile phone calls, paid for 2 weeks landline without being able to use the phone and wasted a full days annual leave. I'm currently awaiting a response to my compensation request. If any further problems are experienced I will be cancelling my whole Sky package. The incompetence of Sky and BT has been beyond belief.

No outgoing calls can be made from the home telephone.

How do I fix this problem?

I have been on the phone to an operator last night but I am still no further forward, can you please contact me on ########## (removed)

Hi GeraldineDowney, what happens when you try to make an outgoing call? I would recommend removing your phone number as posting it in public may lead to unwanted calls.
