Anything complicated about the history of your landline number , has it always been a BT number , and never ported to another company before coming back to BT, or is it another company’s number originally that is currently imported to BT ?
The person calling you that can hear ringtone but your phone doesn’t ring , calling you from another BT landline or a different landline provider or a mobile provider ?
Lastly , if you have dialtone from the hub , call 17070 and check the correct number is read out ( this can be in place of checking the router stats page or do that as well as )
It may be your phone is not compatible, however normally in these cases connecting it to the hub with a ADSL filter can make it ring to incoming calls as the ADSL filter replaces the missing connectivity ( this is usually needed with very old phones ) , otherwise as stated get a call made to you while you are waiting near the phone , while the caller is listening to ringtone (but your phone not ringing) , lift the handset anyway , if the call connects , you need a new phone, that’s if the ADSL filter hack doesn’t work .
@iniltous Unless I’m mistaken I think the OP has already done this..
Got an email this morning saying my phone has gone live and now ready to use. Tried ringback on 17070 and it appears to be working. I assumed it was working on the 26th when an openreach engineer checked it but apparently took 48 hours to go live. Anyway seems loud and clear and all is well. Thanks for the 17070 number always handy if i need to check incoming calls.
Thanks for letting the community know about the 48hrs it can take for DV to go live. Very useful info. Glad it’s all sorted.
