I have a BT cordless phone set which has now developed a crackling sound on all calls in and out which makes it difficult to hear.
This has happened before but I can't remember what solved the problem last time

If you haven't done it yet try the below line test. Disregard it saying it will test your broadband

Re: Crakling noise on calls
@JD402 does your phone plug into your broadband Hub? Or into a wall socket?
If it's a wall socket, does it have separate ports for broadband and phone? Or just one?
Do you have a standard,corded phone you could try, to rule out a problem with your cordless phone?

Re: Crakling noise on calls
@JD402 yes, sometimes just running the test clears it. If the fault returns, let us know.
