I have Sky Talk and Broadband but my phone hasn't been working since 24th September. Initially it was crackling for a few days but now I'm unable to make or recieve calls at all. When I try and make a call I just receive message "Please check line cord". I don't get a ring tone at all and when someone tries to ring me they just get voicemail service.
When I use the Service Checker it says there is an outage on broadband in the area but my broadbad is working fine. I've tried doing the things that the online help suggests e.g. checking cables, but to no avail.
Any ideas please as I have no phone at all.
Thanks

I’ll escalate your original post to Sky when it’s more than the obligatory ten minutes old and their Messaging Team should contact you later.
They can check the line and if an external fault is found they'll pass it to Openreach for investigation.
You need to watch out for a post from one of the team inviting you to a private chat and then you should see a blue/red speech bubble at the bottom of your forum page. You’ll have 48 hours to click on it and start the private chat or it will close automatically. If you fail to respond to a chat reply within 48 hours the chat will again close down automatically even if your issue hasn’t been resolved. Replies from Sky aren’t instant so you’ll need to check the chat thread fairly regularly.
This link explains what happens.

Any background to this? Are you new to Sky broadband/Talk? Or has your landline with Sky been working up to now?

thanks for you question most appreciated. However If I had a line I would phone them. Its easier to get an audience with the Pope than navigate their systems. I pay for that I can also pay for mobile fees. thanks again.

Hi,
Thanks for the help here as I had an engineer come out and finally got my landline working after not having it work for 2 weeks.
Does anyone know how the compensation scheme works as I thought it was automatic but looking at my bill today it's the same as my normal monthly figure. My phone was fixed about 2 weeks ago but I read that compensation should be automatic and it doesn't have to be raised with Sky? I did get a text from Sky saying my phone was now fixed so they do know it is fixed.
Thanks,
Vi
