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:

You can also run this test via the MySky app.

Let us know how you get on.

Re: No landline. Saying line cord error

My land line is not working,  Post code area BN42 4

My Broad band is working thank goodness. (hence being on line in community page )
I hade a Line cord error showing on handsets, followed all the approriate steps Unplugged etc, . Line cord error has now gone from handset display,but I have  no dial tone, can't dial out, can't receive a call.

On hold for SKY talk team and the expected wait time is 25mins,( how lovely it is , they have 6 options of music whilst you wait...... which means they know their call centre is understaffed). 

Any suggestions gratefully received

Sadly the link didn't resolve anything or do a test on land line,  after 1hr on hold I spoke with someone.    BT engineer booked for Tuesday,  my line is as dead as a Dodo.

I have been unable to make /receive any calls - I am using a micro filter but have tried phone direct into master socket - without success.

 

The house phone line does not connect  and can't make calls .

Borrowed a cord phone and tried the line shows dead no dialling tone. Also tried the test socket

 

It says line code error - can anyone help.

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

If you fail to respond to each chat reply from Sky within 48 hours the chat will again close down automatically even if your issue hasn’t been resolved.
