Landline phone dead

Landline phone is dead, no noises at all, and when I call it from a mobile I get an engaged tone.

Internet is working.

If I call the landline phone from my mobile it beeps 3 times and then nothing.

Has your phone line been working up until now? Any recent changes to your subscription? Does the broadband hub have a voice light and if so is it on?

I don't know how long the phone has been dead, I only use it once in a blue moon.

I missed my Tesco delivery yesterday because of it. I found out later that the Delivery driver had to phone me because they changed the time slot, so I checked the phone and it was dead.

No recent changes to my subscription.

Broadband hub does not have a voice light.

All lights on the hub are as normal, 3 white lights.

Hi, we have exactly the same issue with the landline being dead and a message on the phone saying 'check landline'. I would be grateful if you could inform sky and hopefully get a private chat with them. Thanks
