No outgoing calls on digital phone and phone number issue

I am experiencing a really poor and lengthy switchover.  Despite numerous phone calls to BT for help I am still without an incoming line and BT don’t keep me informed.

In brief:

18th Nov 20: Order placed for broadband plus home phone

1st Dec 20: Equipment received (hub and digital voice phone)

12th Jan 21: Broadband & outgoing phone calls connected following significant delay.  Phone programmed with old number and identifies as this when making outgoing calls

Feb 21: BT advised me that they can’t ‘port’ my old number and a new number issued on my account

2nd Mar 21: I called my old provider to ‘disconnect’ my old phone, as this part of my old package had been reactivated late Dec 20 (by BT?) – likely due to delayed broadband connection; I was still receiving bills for this ‘zero’ service.

4th Mar 21: ‘New’ number quoted on my account belongs to another householder (I know because I called it from my mobile and spoke to them)

I would appreciate any ideas of what I need to do next?  To date (7th Mar 21) no solutions attempted by BT helpline have worked

It is blue with my 'old' number quoted (this number also matches the DECT handset)
