Landline after Sky ultrafast fitted

Frankie190 — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 14:30:26 GMT

I have had ultrafast fibre fitted on Tuesday (previously super fast) and everything is working fine apart from the landline phone.It is not taking incoming calls at all (when I ring it says you have dialled an incorrect number) but it can still make outgoing calls ok!

Funny thing is when I rang the 07 sky number to check it added two zeros at the end of the number but ringing that as well still would not get through.

Have switched ONT box off and reset router to no avail and voice is on green but it obviously partly working but wondering if I have missed something simple.

Many thanks in advance

@Frankie190 Is the phone still connected to the master socket or is it in the back of the router?

Hi Highlinder,

Thanks for coming back to me.

Apologies forgot to mention the phone socket is correctly in the back of the router in the correct port and not in the master socket as before.

@Frankie190 Have you re-booted the router at all and is the voice light green or amber or off?

Hi Highlinder

Yes have tried that and the green light was on before reboot and also afterwards as well as if all is fine.

@Frankie190 It sounds like something has not been switched right moving from superfast to ultrafast. With you being able to make outgoing calls you can call Sky or this can be escalated to the messaging team to save you calling.

@Frankie190 just a thought - have you checked that you still have the same number? Dial 17070,and the recorded message will give you the number for the line.

Hi Mark39

I have dialled the number and it has given me the same number as normal but with anothe two zero's at the end of it!

Do not know why but tried to dial that as well and still did not work!

That doesn't sound right. Sounds like either a fault or the,switch to Ultrafast hasn't fully completed. Do follow up with the private chat you've been invited to.

I'm having the same issue, did you get it sorted?

Re: Landline after Sky ultrafast fitted

Frankie190 — Sat, 29 Jun 2024 09:00:23 GMT

Hi Clare20,

I have had a chat with an advisor who checked the line but could not find a fault so they have escalated it further to their Network team who are running further checks and will come back to me.

So at the moment no it is not sorted yet.

Hi Frankie190,

Ah ok. I rang sky this morning and they said all fine their end and that it might take a few days to settle and transfer over properly. So I'm to wait until monday and ring them again if it's not sorted!!

Mark39 — Sat, 29 Jun 2024 09:27:33 GMT

@Clare20 if, on Monday, it hasn't sorted itself out and you'd like to contact Sky again via a private chat rather than by calling, feel free to post again and we'll alert Sky's messaging team for you.

I've seen posts indicating that it can take up to a week. Do you want us to ask Sky to initiate a private chat with you, for an update?

Clare20 — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 13:42:22 GMT

Oh crikey really?! I'll ring them tonight and see what's happening. Thankyou

Just a quick update- Sky texted me to turn ONT and hub off at mains for 10 mins and turn back on again and that should solve it.

It is still not working so awaiting a response.
