crossed line???
 

Is it possible to get a crossed phone line on NTL????


Its happened a few times when people are ringing up, and askin for a name that isnt mine, and also people are having issues when trying to ring me(using mobile with number already keyed in) and getting somebody else....

Is this common, if so how and why can this be solved

I have got the wrong number a few times, which is confusing because the numbers are stored in my phone, and i have answered the phone to find 2 people talking but they couldnt here me, and it was a wired phone not wireless, as for resolving it i havnt a clue, it never happens when they check it.:rolleyes:

All it takes if for a installer to jumper up the E & D sides in the Mux or the D side in the cab.If one of the two wires is connected to a port on either side of your port,then you'll get a crossed line.If you dial 175,the exchange will say "You are connected to 123456789"
but if you hear a second number as well as your own,thats what's happened.
OR,if your number is a reclaimed BT number,they might hve re-issued your number to someone else as well as you!But thats rare.
