IT plc home calls/rental provider

Doodsy

Hi

Has anyone heard if Internet Telecommunications plc has gone bump? I got their details from MSE and signed up with them back in April for cheap line rental as I did not make many out going calls.

Since the weekend I cannot now make any calls - the message is "you are not registered for this service" but I can still accept in-coming calls.

I've tried phoning ITplc but lines just ring out. Am I to assume they have biten the dust and I need to find another provider?

Thanks for any help.

Have you tried the 1280 overide access, is that working?The story i have heard is that there is a major cable problem between them and the Bt network and it is being worked on.

Hi,

I too am with IT and have not been able to make outgoing calls for a few days, with the same message as you being given. The override code does not work for me yet I can still use the internet and receive incoming calls. I contacted them today again, (it was easy enough to get through this time) and was told the problem was with the BT - IT connection cables which were damaged and they were waiting for BT to repair them. I do think the whole thing is a bit fishy though and it also crossed my mind that they have gone bust! I am in the Manchester area if that makes any difference to what they tell you if you do manage to get through. Will post any updates as and when i get them.

Internet Telecommunications plc always seemed a dodgy service anyway, so wouldn't be surprised if there is more to it, I just couldn't see why people would switch to them with their appalling T&Cs.

Can anyone advise if their lines are working yet.Or have they really gone down the Swanee?

Thanks for all the comments.

I finally got through to IT and I was told the same thing - a line had been damaged and was in the process of being repaired.

I can make out going calls now with the 1280 prefix and hopefully the problem will be sorted soon.

Their terms would not suit most people I know, but as my total calls cost is only £2 - £3 a month I have already saved money on the rental by switching to them.
