Hi @theprices2095 

 

It shows your phone service is registered in our systems.

 

Can you confirm you have a phone plugged into the ''PHONE PORT 1'' on the back of the modem? If you are still using the phone plugged into a traditional phone socket, it will not work. The old TELSTRA style of phone service is now redundant and you should only have the 1x NBN-NCD plugged into a phone socket and EVERY other devices unplugged.

 

Phone services will only work via the modem phone port now.

 

You may check the setup guide that we've created for NBN-FTTC here.

Thank you David_M  

Issue solved. Our installer said everything was done and set when he left. He made no mention of having to do anything else with the phones.

Very grateful for your help. 

Have a wonderful day :-)
