possible fault with landline please help
 

Hi

Every now and again if I call a number I hear a crackling noise and then it goes back to the dialling tone, I have to try a few times until it rings, tonight when I was on hold to virgin media about 3 mins into the call it did the same thing.

Thank you
Mrs Cotton

You need someone out to repair it, and if you can't call them from your own phone you will have to use a mobile, or a neighbour's landline, to do it.

To call them from a non-Virgin phone, dial 0345 454 2222. That's a 'geographic' number, so if you have inclusive calling minutes on your mobile phone, it will use those rather than being an extra charge.

Have you perhaps got a spare phone you can connect and try?

Just in case it is the phone and not the line.
