Not Received New Hub for Digital Voice

[JtM80]

Hi all,

Is there a way to talk to anyone at BT regarding this?

I've had an email, and a postcard regarding the switch to digital voice, which says we should get a new hub to support the service (our current hub doesn't have the green phone socket in the back).  I've tried the various means of contacting BT regarding this, but online messaging says they can't help "with this delivery issue" and the text back that's promised when you phone for help regarding landline service hasn't texted back so far!

Our landline doesn't have a dial tone, so per the instructions so far, we should be switching over.

Cheers,

John

Switchover only happens once a new home hub has registered. Perhaps you just have a fault on your line?

Check on your MYBT for an open order which will tell you date when your switch over will take place and also give date when equipment (Smart 2 Hub) being despatched.

Thanks - the postcard says "No Dial Tone? You're ready to switch." Hence the assumption! The email (received at the start of January) said we'd be moving within the next 30 days. If it is a line fault, the text back doesn't seem to be working for me (I've followed that process three times so far)

Thank you!

No open order on my account at the moment.

Then you have a fault on your phone line, if you are not getting dial tone. When did you last make or receive a phone call?

[JtM80]

I would guess at Saturday last, although I must confess that we use our mobiles for most things. I was prompted to check after receiving the "Setting up your new home phone service" postcard yesterday.

Not much you can do until you receive the new Smart Hub 2.

You may have to chase BT up.

Thanks - finally managed to get the online help to let me speak to someone, they've confirmed that it's a line fault. It's an unfortunate coincidence that it came up when the change over to DV could have been the cause! Thanks again for your help.
