Had my NBN (FTTC) installed on Monday. Last night I had email stating phone service now has been ported from Telstra.

While I can ring out from my phone I am unable to recieve incoming calls. I get busy tone on the calling phone instead.

Is there any setting in the router ?

Hi @TH,
 

Thanks for the additional details. We tested to call your home phone number and it rings.

 

Please do the follow test below.

 

  • Call your home phone number see if it rings
  • Re-seat the home phone to the modem/router ( Phone 1 port )
  • Try different handset or phone cable

Let us know how it will go.

 

Cheers!

Hi @Shane 

Thanks for the info.

I just called again on my mobile, it shows "line busy".

I have checked all plugs and the phone into socket phone1. I can call (just now) my mobile but not receive

I'm using same phone that Telstra supplies, which worked fine.

Is it possible that you were calling different phone number as I never heard the phone ringing at all. Can you please PM me the number you called?

Regards,

Tom

Hi @Shane 

Just realised that I don't have phone number listed for incoming calls. Does it matter? How do I enter the number?
