Landline phone not responding

Hi all,

 

just gone to use the landline, which is a rare thing but I have no dial tone.  The phone tells me to check the phone line. Done the basics with plugs etc.... but nothing. Rang the number and it sounds as if to connect and rings as if connected but doesn't ring on the land line.

 

any ideas please 

TIA

Update - Spoken to Nickynoonar just now, after some checks and a line test, an external fault was located. 

Openreach has been booked, we discussed timescales and autocomp. 🙂

Thanks

@Trudy+burman 

Openreach normally aim to fix reported faults within 3-5 working days (so not tomorrow or Sunday) of being notified of them, but that could easily lengthen, for example; bad weather causing high demand or if they have to get permission to dig up roads.

@Nickynoonar 
I’ve escalated your post to Sky and the Escalation Team may get in touch with you later or maybe tomorrow.

Look out for an email and also a blue/red speech bubble on the bottom left of your forum page. Once that speech bubble appears you only have 48 hours to join the private chat or it will close automatically. Again, if you fail to respond to each message from Sky within 48 hours the chat will automatically close. Replies on the chat aren’t instant so keep checking the chat thread regularly.

Please make sure that your email/private message notifications are switched to ‘on’ to avoid missing the alerts.

If you are using Safari also make sure that Hide IP Address is not checked in order to see the blue bubble. If you have trouble finding this to check the settings, use another browser such as Chrome or Firefox.

@Nickynoonar 

Look at the link in my earlier post. There should be a blue/red chat bubble at the bottom of your forum page. Click on that.

Are you using Safari @Nickynoonar 

If you are, also make sure that Hide IP Address is not checked in order to see the blue bubble. If you have trouble finding this to check the settings, use another browser such as Chrome or Firefox.
