No dial tone on landline. Internet still working.
I'm getting intermittent cutouts on my broadband but it's still working, however I'm getting no landline dial tone. If I try to call my home number I get a ring tone on my mobile but no call is getting through to the landline handset.
I've tried the following :
New handset
Plugging direct into the master socket
I can only conclude there's a hardware fault on the line somewhere.

Re: No dial tone on landline. Internet still working.
See if you can run this line test to see if a fault is found outside of your property and if something is found you can book an engineer repair, ignore the fact it says it will test your broadband:
You can also run this test via the MySky app.
Let us know how you get on.

The diagnostic check says it all looks good.

I noticed it had stopped working recently. We've made no change to our package. Repoting it now as I've had a chance to test the line using a brand new phone.

Re: No dial tone on landline. Internet still working.
To get you some help with this I have escalated your post to the Sky Messaging team who will be in touch with you sometime tomorrow regarding this via a blue/red chat bubble which will appear at the bottom of this page.
This link explains how this works:
https://community.sky.com/t5/Did-you-know/Escalating-a-post-to-a-Sky-expert/ba-p/3711147
When the chat bubble does appear you have 48 hours to respond or it will be automatically closed. This isn't a live chat so replies are not instant.

Re: No dial tone on landline. Internet still working.
I have connected to sky landline last month. I do have internet but the phone has no dial tone, cannot ring out and when someone calls it says "this number is temporarily unavailable".

@Gary128 is your phone plugged into your broadband Hub? If there's a Voice light on the front panel of your Hub, is it lit amber or green?
