https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Talk/Caller-ID-displays-External-Call/m-p/4179904#M79680 <P>At random times of the day, our landline rings and displays 'External Call'. When I pick up the phone, it just has the dial tone sound and when I hang up, it starts ringing again straight away. If I don't hang up and leave it 20 secs or so before I do, then it doesn't ring again. Also, when I hear the dial tone after answering, there is a clicking sound which you would usually associate with a phone being tapped. Hopefully that is just my paranoia. As it's not a number being displayed, I can't block or report it. Does this happen to anyone else? How can I stop this?</P> Tue, 13 Dec 2022 21:37:31 GMT Skismo 2022-12-13T21:37:31Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Talk/Caller-ID-displays-External-Call/m-p/4179904#M79680 <P>At random times of the day, our landline rings and displays 'External Call'.

They can test the line and if necessary forward the issue to Openreach for investigation. Just dial 150 from your landline if you can.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 14 Dec 2022 05:37:48 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Talk/Caller-ID-displays-External-Call/m-p/4179979#M79682 Daniel0210 2022-12-14T05:37:48Z
