External Calls Not Working Since Full Fibre Installed

I have now moved over to full fibre broadband this morning.

 

I can dial out on the landline, but we are not receiving external calls.

 

Phone is plugged into router.

 

How long does it take for external calls to work?

 

Thanks

@JOHNN26 

It's normal for the Sky Talk landline to not operate fully for 24+ hours after the broadband activation. Presumably you've got it plugged into the back of the hub and NOT a wall socket?

@JOHNN26 

I suggest giving it til mid afternoon. It not working fully by then report it to Sky by dialling 150 from your landline.

@JOHNN26 do you have a black broadband Hub, or white?

@JOHNN26 you could try turning off both your Hub and ONT off at the plug for 10 minutes. If that doesn't resolve it, it may simply be taking a bit longer for activation to complete. It's fairly commonly reported here - in my case it recently took 3 days to move from the copper-based landline service to Hub. You could give Sky a call, as @Daniel0210 posted, or avoid the hassle and wait for a few more days to see if it sorts itself out.
