Phone does not ring just beeps

Colin599 — Wed, 23 Nov 2022 13:14:20 GMT

Phone line installed in house is done by bt many years ago and never had any issues. Phone line still works to receive and make calls but phone has randomly stopped ringing. Tried three different landline phones and none of them ring, one phone just beeps when someone calls it others are completely silent. Issue has been happening last 3 weeks or so. Never had issue with phones not ringing prior to this. Strange

Are all your phones connected via microfilters? Unless you have a prefiltered master socket with separate ports for phone and broadband, they need to be.

Yes phone has a sky filter on it. Literally have disconnected everything and connected the phone directly into the master bt socket only and get a dial tone, can ring out and receive calls but phone does not ring for incoming calls.

Sounds like a fault you'll need to report. The quickest way to report it is to call Sky (dial 150).

If you prefer we can alert them here and they may be able to help via a private online messaging service. Responses to Sky via the messaging service are not instant. Let us know if you want to use the messaging service.

Can you clarify what the issue is that you're having, and what you've tried to resolve it?

Does your phone plug into your broadband Hub? Or the wall socket? If it's plugged into the wall socket, and there aren't separate sockets for phone and broadband, try replacing the microfilter.

It plugs into wall socket but it has a separate broadband and phone plug in

Ok, looks like it will need reporting. You can call them on 150 or we can ask the messaging team to contact you here tomorrow, so thay you can report it via a private online chat, if you prefer.
