OT Phone problems on Xmas day.
Had no problems with internet today, but I am unable to make and receive
phone calls. This morning I wasn't even getting a dialling tone, but get that now, also had the phone ring but still ringing when I picked it up, anyone else had problems today? David @ the damp end of Swansea bay. |

Mike Thats the first thing, and unpluged all then tried 1 at a time, and did all the other tests a 5 year old would know about. |

It's rather a long time since I was teaching Telephone Engineers the 700 and the HES 4 Telephone Systems and all of your faults point to a mechanical fault on the switch hooks when you pick the handset up. Take the top/side/bottom off a phone now and I haven't a clue. I guess it must be an exchange fault :-( Hope you get it sorted soon. Mike -- ....................................

David @ the damp end of Swansea bay. David your fault has got me 'fascinated'. If it comes back on and you don't get dialing tone, can you call you from a mobile? I think you may find you are engaged. Long Shot. An external calling device(?) has got wet and has 'called the exchange' and you 'appear engaged' by virtue of a low resistance circuit and the dialing tone, (which is switched on when you pick up the receive) has been removed. All of the above works on DC, (at least it did) and the calling circuit is AC (at least it was) Love to know when you get it cleared what it was Mike -- ....................................

David @ the damp end of Swansea bay. Do you have a modern master socket? The type that has a split face plate allowing you to remove half to reveal the internal socket? If so, do so and plug a known good handset directly into that. This eliminates faults with internal house wiring. Mike (The muddy one) |
