'This number is temporary unavailable'
 

Neighbours have this when we try to call them, and they can't get a dial tone.

My guess is that the cab they're on is having work done on it? :) Been off since early this morning.

or an exchange fault.

I didn't think NTL actually had telephone exchanges - only street cabs? :shrug:

Re: 'This number is temporary unavailable'
 

Street cabs are not much use on their own, ntl have their own exchanges. :)

Could also be that they have been cut off for non bill payment.

Don't jump to conclusions.

They've not got an extension off-the-hook have they? I got this message when trying to phone my mother in law last week and she'd done this.

Re: 'This number is temporary unavailable'
 

there is a problem - Proweb (isp, nottingham) have been down all morning - they tell me one of the main pipes is down - they have not phones, and all the cable/adsl lines are down..and they are still down.

Re: 'This number is temporary unavailable'
 

Yes, the message does appear after the phone is off the hook for a while - but they haven't got any extensions.

Well, it's all back on here now, around 11am - NTL blamed it on a 'localised fault', whatever that means. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the help, guys. :)
