Home phone problems

I recently signed up to ADSL 2+ with home phone.
Since installation, I have had nothing but trouble with the phone service. Instances of Can’t ring out, phone doesn’t connect when the phone rings, callers getting music or a message saying “this number is not valid” when clearly it is.
I have contacted TPG numerous times, have had a technician out who checked all cabling to house and installed booster box and connection points.
I have also replaced the phone thinking it may be that but the problem persists.
We have severe medical conditions and I need the phone for calling out but also Dr’s to call in.
WiFi seems to work most times and I regularly have to reset modem.
Can anyone help?

Hi @mlandkroon 

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

Thanks for raising this with us. I was able to pull up an account using your community details. However, the record we pulled up is an NBN account so we're not quite sure if we're looking at the right one. Can you PM us your customer ID or username or even the homephone number so we can check this further?

 

For reference: How do I private message (PM) in the community

Hi @mlandkroon 

 

Thank you for providing your homephone number via email. This matches the earlier record I was able to pull up. Your service is already on NBN FTTN.

 

Can you confirm on which port at the back of the modem is your phone connected to?

Hi @mlandkroon,

 

Thanks for confirming.

 

I refreshed the phone settings on my end. Please perform some tests and let me know how it goes.

Do you have Huewei or a TP-Link Modem?

Hi @mlandkroon,

 

Thank you for confirming via email that you've reset the modem and tested the phone. Since it's still not working properly, I have this issue escalated to our Engineering Team for further investigation. Updates pertaining to this case will be provided to you directly by a Phone Engineer via SMS or phone call. Let me know if you have other concerns that we can look into.

 

Regards,
