Disconnected phone keeps ringing

micknmace

BT disconnected our landline approx 18mths ago but over the past week it has started randomly ringing in. Have managed to press the answer button just a couple of times to hear a crackly nothingness or a dialing tone. It has happened about 4 times tonight, the last one was 1.45am. Does anybody have any idea why this has started happening?

unplug your phone and it will not ring again

I would email Sally Morgan and ask her who she thinks it may be (spooky)

It's just done it again at gone 4 in the morning! I can't get to the socket as there's big bit of furniture in the way so I've done the next best thing & put the handset on silent.

The phone would still be connected to a circuit as you have dial tone so if it's ringing it could be the is a short somewhere on the line or circuit.
How many times does it ring for before it cuts out?..

It really does vary, sometimes it's just a couple of times but sometimes loads. Do you think I should contact BT about it?
Thanks for answering by the way.

As you are not a customer I doubt it would be a priority for them to fix it.

Move furniture. Unplug phone.
Job done.
