Yay! Thanks everyone. I don't know exactly what the ptoblem was but it's sorted.
I recharged the phone fully and reconnected it. At the same time, I called TalkTalk who checked and confirmed there was a fault on the line so they sent a BT engineer. When he came (the next day!) the phone seemed to ne working OK but he changed some of the cabling inside the house.
So thanks to everyone!

And be prepared for TalkTalk to pass on BT engineering charges if they worked on wiring "in the house" !!!:eek:

However, assuming it was from the external box to your Master socket, you're not liable for any charges.

Sounds like a rectified loop fault. Unplug all extensions and test from the test port. Can also be caused by damp in the socket or internal wiring, or occasionally a fault in the external wiring feeding the property especially if it's one of the old grey ones.

Basically rule out your own equipment and if the problem persists report it. And be prepared for a charge if it has been caused by damp.
