Please help - phone not working

I'm getting nowhere with the Indian call centre. i wonder if anyone here can rescue me.
Brand new install - four days old. I have two phones, one old one on an extention - that's working fine. One new Panasonic digital cordless working on the main socket - when I try to make outgoing calls with that I either get dead tone or engaged tone. Curiously I can call 150 but other than book an engineers appointment for a weeks time they can't help. I'm sure it must be something really simple.

Sounds like it hasn't been fully activated on the switch. Have you tried another phone on it just in case?

I have. Same thing.
Is this something I could do myself? Or do I need to get someone out? Why would I be able to call 150, that's what's puzzling me. When I did phone 150 they told me it was all working OK but it was a struggle to communicate with them to be honest.
Thanks so much for help.
