Just got this on the BT Home Accounts Web Page;

" https://www.intouch.bt.com:443 uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate expired on 03/07/2009 00:59.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate)
"

    Hi Inactive,

    That's really strange, is it still happening? Was it at http://www.bt.com/youraccount ? Did it come up when you were trying to log into your account?

    Thanks,

  • Hi, I raised this exact problem with BT on Monday 6th July. I have had a phone call and 2 email's from BT saying they are looking into the 'problem' and will be back. Bearing in mind it is now Friday, 2 questions, why was the certificate allowed to expire and why does it take so long to rectify, as it would appear I am not the only one experiencing this problem. While I am on the subject of BT, another problem that they are looking into for me, for about a month now, is not being able to see what my calling features are, I don't want to change my features but surely the idea behind on line account is to actually be able to use all the features trouble free.

    HI notaproblem,

    Getting the Calling Features to show on your eBilling account should be relatively easy to fix, let me know if you'd like me to look into it.

    I will post back as soon as I know when this issue with the certificate is sorted, and many thanks to both you and Inactive for promptly highlighting this to the forum.

    All the best,

  • Hi, yes if you can look into the Calling feature problem would much appreciate it, and thank you for taking on the Invalid Certificate problem as well.

    Thanks Stephanie, It still isn't fixed, however I have today transferred my phone line to my ISP, so not a problem for me any more.;)

    Hi, I raised this exact problem with BT on Monday 6th July. I have had a phone call and 2 email's from BT saying they are looking into the 'problem' and will be back. Bearing in mind it is now Friday, 2 questions, why was the certificate allowed to expire and why does it take so long to rectify, as it would appear I am not the only one experiencing this problem.

    I also reported it via email on the 10th July, tell them the SSL certificate has expired and got told this:
    I would like to advise I have spoken to a number of people in our technical department on your behalf, they have been able to confirm the error message you have been receiving is due the the type of browsers you are using, they also confirming that the link you provided me with www.intouch.bt.com, should have a option to installing either Firefox 2 or Internet Explorer 7. Once you have completed the installation of either of these products you should be able to use our services.
    Words fail me - trying to palm off a customer with your not using the right browser (I was using firefox 3) rather than admit and fix the problem.
  • How long does it take to sort this problem out. Before I contacted BT on the 6th July, I use Firefox but tried IE. From experience with BT when they do have a software problem it seems to take them months to sort out. My Calling Feature problem I can live with but I have a lot of phone numbers only in my online address book. So BT GET IT SORTED QUICKLY.
