Re: No caller ID after upgrade to Full Fibre/Digital Voice

Go to solution

We have the same problem after switching to DV with FFTP broadband last week.  The Openreach engineer set up the complete system pairing 2 adapters to the hub and plugging in the phones.   I am aware that the information on  links from the emails received state that if your phones were purchased before 2015 they may not work so this may be the reason for no caller ID, and a small number of other problems encountered so far.  The engineer did say that the phone/fax Brother model FAX-510 Plus over 20 years old, plugged into the hub in an upstairs bedroom may not work.  It rings with an incoming call but I've not noticed if the CD works.  The 2nd phone is a BT Paragon 650 phone with built in answer machine plugged into an adapter in the downstairs lounge, the engineer said that looking at this phone it should work OK.  The CD definitely does not work on this phone. Two messages received so far, 1 was left on 1571 and the 2nd onto the phone but was inaudible and 'garbled'.  There are times when we call a family member's mobile we hear it ringing and then silence, they can hear us, we can't hear them. They call back without a problem. Calls to other landlines appear to work as normal. Could this be due to technical glitches in the system, our phones or the system needs to be checked and just how long is this likely to continue as I have read reports of some being left with problems for approximately a month before normal service was resumed.  Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hello @Redlollipop.

Welcome to the EE Community. 

You would need to use a phone that is compatible with Digital Voice, you can view the range of phones via the online shop

The second phone which is the BT Paragon650, should be compatible. If this is not working as it should please give us a call so this can be looked into further.

Try connecting the paragon phone to socket on the router and see if caller id  is working.  If still not working then phone CS 03301234150 and they should help

Many thanks for your reply.  Hubby telephoned EE 23rd Sept and explained that caller display wasn't working on the phones.  The call handler informed him that this was one of the  most problematic reports. They informed him they would uninstall the old caller display and reinstall it.  Incoming calls this morning are working on the older phone, the Brother Phone/Fax plugged directly into the hub in the upstairs bedroom but the CD still shows as 'external call' on the BT Paragon 650 plugged into the adapter in the downstairs lounge.  As you suggest the Paragon should be working we're not sure if it's the phone or the adapter that is the problem.  We have a spare adapter (we thought it may be needed for the phone/fax) but which which the installation engineer said could be plugged directly into the hub.  We plan to use the spare adapter for another phone (to be purchased soon) for the other bedroom.  Any futher suggestions as to the cause of the problem will be most welcome, hubby is not a happy chappy.  Many thanks.

Did you try @imjolly  suggestion to determine if it is the phone or adapter at fault?

Many thanks for your suggestion.  I will try that as the CD is working on the phone/fax plugged into the router/hub but still not working on the Paragon plugged into the lounge adapter.

UPDATE: We were sent two adapters, one with the rounded top with the EE logo cutout on the front and one a straight sided rectangle without the logo shape.  The installation engineer plugged the lounge Paragon phone into the plain retangular adapter.  We have swapped the adapter for the EE logo cutout and the CD is now working on the Paragon phone.  Why CD works with the logo adapter and not the other is a mystery to me.  Next task, try to reset the SMS text service on the lounge phone, if this will work on EE.  Many thanks for all of your help and advice.

Since posting the Update I have read the leaflets that were in the adapter boxes. The one with the EE logo shaped cutout and rounded top refers to the Smarthub and the rectaangular one refers to the EE hub. We have the BT Smarthub 2.0, Presumably the reason for CD not workiing after installation.
