Resurrecting this thread ...

I have a problem with DECT phones cutting out after about 2 minutes use. First I used a BT Synergy which worked a treat on my old BT line. I gave it away assuming it to be dead and bought a new Southwestern Bell DECT which did the exact same thing.

Naturally, when I reported the fault initially they said it was my DECT phone as my fixed line phones are working fine. I am reluctant to log it as a fault again with NTL for fear of being charged a call-out fee but am very frustrated that for the 9 weeks I've been on NTL I can't use my cordless phones.

I checked my phone line voltages on the master socket (against earth):

0V = -3V
48V = 42V

Question: is 42 volts too low and causing me the problem?
