Phone line dead but internet working

I changed to NOW TV a few days ago and the broadband came on fine with the speed expected and no issues.

However, the phone is dead, no dial tone, nothing. If I call my number from my mobile it cuts off, does not ring. I have checked with 2 other phones and into the master socket behind the face plate. We did have a working phone line with our previous supplier albeit a bit noisy on the line but fully working.I waited a few days in case this was a hiccup but no. I am puzzled how the broadband can work but not the phone. I have inclusive call package so would obviously like this working.

No live chat available and cannot find a number to call them. Anyone else ever had this problem?

 

Thanks.

@Anonymous User a phone line needs 2 working cables (send and receive) whereas broadband only needs 1 working cable. 

 

Go through the help page (under the down arrows you'll find a 'still having problems' which should link to live chat. If live chat isn't working try the complaints line

Thank you Saint1976. I phoned them on the broadband contact number and after some testing their end they said there is a fault away from our property, in the street cabinet so an engineer will attend to it within 2 days.

Hopefully that will be it. It is funny how the checks from the NOW TV website showed all to be working well!

 

Cheers

Any chance someone could provide a telephone number as now tv chat bot doesn't solve any phone line problems? Nor can I find the telephone number to report a fault on the website.

Sorry I can’t just post it, but see here for a posting with a link that will lead you to the phone number you can call them on.

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it.
Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now.
That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.
