[Ivann]

I am unable to activate sky talk shield online. I continually get " we are unable to deal with your request "

@Ivann 

To use talk shield you need to be on a sky voice and broadband connection

Could you diav 17070 from your landline if you get a welcome to sky message then you are if not you won't be able to use talk shield

[Ivann]

I am on Sky broadband and Sky Talk. Is Sky Voice the same as sky Talk?

@Ivann 

Sky talk shield requires that your line is run on skys own network as opposed to bt wholesale . Did you try 17070 to see what welcome message you get?

[Ivann]

I did not get any message when I dialled 17070

[Highlinder]

@Ivann  So the line is just silent when you dial that number? Where are you in the UK or Ireland?

@Ivann 

Checking back to a previous post you have a dect base phone plugged into the hub and a few others about the house.

Are all phones the same make are you getting the fault on the base station on all phones or just the sub station

[Ivann]

All the phones are the same make Panasonic and I'm getting the same response from all - total silence when I dial 17070

@Ivann 

Are you able to make and receive calls on all phones now or just the base station?

[Ivann]

I can make and receive calls on all my phones
