While I've been gallavanting this month it's become apparent that we have a problem with our home phone. I suspect it's been going on for a while as I'd noticed we haven't had any crap sales calls, dropped answerphone messages etc for ages.
So we have DECT cordless phones. After a bit of grumbling over FB messenger between Pingus it became apparent that if I told Pingu I was dialling that he could pick the phone and speak to me although the handsets neither rang, nor lit up in anyway (caller display should have been on there). The phone seems to be able to make outgoing calls ok.
I checked all the phone settings, tried moving the base unit to the master socket, different microfilters etc, checked that nothing weird had been selected in the Plusnet settings like call divert or anything like that. Drew a blank.
So I ordered a new phone. Ha.
Same issue, except that the new phone does actually light up in a teeny tiny manner to show that a call has been received (although I don't seem to be able to answer it now like we could with the previous phone).
Next question, did I try a corded phone? No, we don't own one.
It's a bit frikkin weird though. Any other bright ideas before I go getting Plusnet onto Openretch?
