Home phone incoming calls gets connected a wrong number

[sunkyounghwang]

We’re on NBN50 fibre to building. We’ve recently plugged in our home phone to the broadband modem and we can make out going calls fine. But when someone tries to phone us at home using the number given by TPG, it gets connected to a wrong number, i.e. someone else’s home.

We know the home phone number is correct because when we receive the outgoing call on my mobile phone, the home phone number shows correctly.

We tried turning off and on the modem but no use. There must be a routing/porting error. Any suggestions on the next step would be very helpful. Thank you.

Hi @sunkyounghwang 

Welcome to the Community!

We'd like to take a look at your account in order for us to check as to why you're struggling to receive incoming calls. Though we're able to pull up a record using your community details, we're uncertain if we have the right account.

Can you send us a PM with your customer ID or username together with your service address?

Just sent a PM. Thanks.

Hi @sunkyounghwang

Thanks for providing your account details via PM.

We checked your account and we found that you're actually on the NBN FTTP technology. We just want to clarify when you mentioned that you connected the phone to a modem, were you referring to the NTD box on the wall wherein you connected the handset to the UniV1 port?

In addition, were you able to perform a test on your own by calling your homephone number using your mobile?

Yes, that’s correct. The home phone is connected to UNI-V 1 port of the NTD box. We tested it by calling the home phone number from my mobile and from other phones but they always get connected to the wrong number (always the same person).
