Replacement modem arrived, but home phone not configured

[skozzy]

I had a new modem posted out to me cause my old modem become faulty

Old modem is VR 1600v

New modem is VX 220-G2v

My old modem has my home phone programmed in, the new modem does not.

The new modem has a default login as tpg_acs@tpg_acs, so I changed that to the login I use on the TPG Website to access my account, that did not seem to help, the phone is still not working, nor is my number showing up when I click on the phone icon on the modem setup page.

Can someone give me instructions of the steps needed to configure the phone to work.

I did ask support before the modem was shipped if it would be configured for plug and play, seems like that step was missed.

What I remember was my old modem if it was Factory Reset it would boot using tpg_acs@tpg_acs and then auto update with my correct login details, this new modem doesnt do that, so it is why I put in my account login info myself.

I dont use the home phone much, but im paying for it so may as well have it working.

Hi @skozzy, 

If the internet is  working, the homephone should also work. We'd like to check the status of the homephone. 

PM us with your Customer ID/username so we can search for the your account. 

Thanks!

Hi @skozzy . If you don't use the home phone much, you could consider the $0 per month pay as you go plan. You can receive calls, make 000 and 1800 calls. You have to make a pre-payment to make other calls. This is topped up when it falls to some level.

Na, we will just work on updating the modem with the correct settings like the old modem so it works as expected. I assume someone needs to email out a flash update file to use ? or add some settings to the modem.
