Any BT Techie staff out there?

I have a cordless phone downstairs which doesn't ring and I cannot phone from, it's not the phone because I bought a new one thinking it was my other one that was broken, obviously it wasn't. The phone upstairs is working well. I have the internet so it's not the line. Can you help?

Thank you in advance :beer:

    have you got broadband filters on? is it plugged into the master socket direct, or via an extension

    The filters are on and the line is plugged in properly, as I said I have the Internet working fine and the upstairs phone is working fine, it's just that the phone doesn't work downstairs :confused:

    Swap the phones around if the downstairs one still doesn't work, but the upstairs one does (i.e. you've then checked both 'phones work) t's likely you've got a dodgy ADSL filter downstairs.

    Buy quality ones from ADSL Nation, a million times better than the freebie rubbish from ISPs.

    I tried the phone upstairs and yes it works up there, so it must be the filter, thank you.
