Second phone line I know nothing about!

Go to solution

I have just looked on my landline and find that I now have two numbers, the one I have had all the time and a new 0331 672 6947 number I know nothing about.

What is this?

Do you mean on the bill? There is a reason, but I can't remember!

Hi @grayham127 

Are you being charged for both numbers? Have you recently made any changes to your broadband/landline services?

OK, thanks @grayham127 

If you have a chat with our Customer Support team, they'll be able to have a look at your account and explain what this is for. Would be great if you can come back and share the solution afterwards.

You may have a second phone number , you don’t have a second phone line , have  you tried calling it from your mobile while at home , does your landline ring , what tone does the caller receive if they call that 0331 number but your phone at home doesn’t ring , is it no tone , number unobtainable tone , busy tone , or ringtone but the home phone doesn’t actually ‘ring’ ?.

Are you on Digital Voice already , still on PSTN  ( so your phone is not connected to the BT router its still in the wall socket ) , have you been advised that you will be migrated to DV ‘ soon ‘ , or have you made any enquiries with other providers about your broadband or telephone service  ?

 

Its irrelevant now , but many years ago ( decades ago) , I had two numbers with my broadband, the geographical number ( with a STD code associated with my town/city ) and an ‘internet’ number that was not geographically allocated, calls on this internet number were cheaper than the regular number , and you could switch between the two with a service specific BT handset ….but it’s unlikely to be anything like that , it was discontinued many years ago .

@grayham127 There are some historic reasons  due to  BT Smarttalk why there may be extra numbers but whether this is the case here I have no idea.  Perhaps the moderation team can take the further if the customer service team is unaware.

Some info about what i am refering to in various threads on community such as

Tried ringing it it was a message 'you have dialled an incorrect number'.

Tried deleting it through my BT page but it won't delete.

I've had a little ask-around, @grayham127 

My colleague seems to think it looks like a virtual number, which we tend to see on business accounts. Is yours a personal landline, or is it registered as a business account?

Where on the bill does it show this second number?
