Hi all
I have a problem with my BT line. My phone has no dialing tone and I get an engaged tone if I dial it from my mobile. Occasionally when I try it the phone makes something I can only describe as a car alarm sound. Strangely though my broadband connection still works and that is running off an extension line?
My phone is plugged into the BT master socket and I have tried another phone but still no luck. I removed the splitters as well.
BT are sending an engineer as they are picking a fault up on the line but cannot say what's causing it but they did say the car alarm sound could be because of a faulty exchange.
Is it possible for my broadband to work but the phone line not to? Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this? We have had very heavy rain, thunder and lightning today but my neighbours phones are all fine.
