Caller ID not working with digital voice

philo1972 — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 22:02:26 GMT

Just been moved over to digital voice. Caller ID working perfectly before, since moving over just ‘incoming call’ is displayed.

been back and forth with talking to bt. Keep being told fault fixed, it isn’t. New digital phone sent to see if that solves it, it didn’t. Switched caller ID on and off on my account, that didn’t work. Reboot and reset smart hub 2 fails to resolve also. Now they want to send an engineer, with a threat of £85 fee, if the fault is my doing.

anyone else experiencing no caller ID? Any fixes ? I cannot see what an engineer can do, when fibre works and I can make calls.

Hi @philo1972

I had the same issue when I renewed my broadband contract, Caller Display was removed from DV for some reason.

I was fortunate in that it only took one phone call for it to be added back to my account. I do think that it's very much pot luck with who you speak to at BT as to whether they can resolve your problem. For example, it took me over a week and 7 phone calls just to renew my broadband.

It appears that your migration to DV hasn't been completed properly.

There is an option for caller display.

@philo1972 I've merged your other post and its reply with this one - it's best not to post the same issue on multiple threads as it can cause confusion.

I'm asking the forum moderators if they can help you.

Still not working, for some reason they are sending an engineer to my house. Got to say worse experience ever and I’ve spent hours back and forth on the phone. Now I have to wait in for an engineer to do what? The phone and broadband work! The fault is not in the house.

Hi @philo1972,

Thank you for taking my call today. I was happy to hear that my colleagues in the Digital Voice team were able to get the Caller Display working for you.

I'm sorry that this took a bit longer than expected.

Thanks,

Paddy

Could someone please say what the answer actually was and not that an answer may have been effected

I have exactly this same fault. Caller ID only works very occasionally through the Digital Voice Adapter although it appears to work always through the phone socket at the back of the hub. So I clearly have Caller ID enabled so it's not that.

@Stevek1311 I'm sorry to see you're having issues with caller display, it needed to be enabled for the OP so you're experiencing a different problem. I'd recommend starting your own thread.

Thanks
Neil

I could but post 5 says not too. My thread would be called 'Caller ID not working with Digital Voice' which would be the same title as this one

@Stevek1311

Poe subjectst 5 was saying to the poster not for them to start multiple posts on the same subject. You should start your own thread as mods advise so you can get help with your different but similar problem
