Regarding the master socket, where does your telephone line enter the house? The nearest socket to that point ought to be the master.

That's what I'm thinking too although my understanding is as shaky as yours on this point. Certainly, things were ok before he changed my number. I have the same router, same filter, same phone, same computer, same carpet and wallpaper
. The only difference was his tinkering. When I ask BT about it, they say VM is your provider, contact them.
The telephone wire comes in at the rear of the house. The nearest socket and the first socket the cable reaches looks no different to all the others and there is nothing under the faceplate that isn't under all the others. When it's unscrewed it just lifts all the internal wires with it - there's no hidden socket to plug into
