Sounds like you have an Openreach 5c master socket with a Mk4 faceplate. If this is correct then you shouldn't need a separate filter AFAIK.
Hopefully someone can confirm or correct that...Taking a filtered face plate apart reveals a complex set of filters.0 -

Well , I have learned a lot here in such a short time. I used the phone on its own and disconnected the internet . The phone worked fine .
I then plugged the internet back in . Everything seems fine .
I left for a few hours and checked again . All good .
Thanks to chino , I think I may have found the problem . The faceplate is very loose . It slides off too easily imho .
Looks like I won't need a new phone after all . If things change , I'll report back .
Thanks0 -

I bought (probably) that cheap Argos phone you have, in order to test my own phone, which was having similar problems to your own. The Argos phone was fine, the other phone was faulty. Bought a new cordless and the problem was fixed. I think though that having a known good standby landline phone is handy.I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.

Actually , in a roundabout way , you have a good point and suggestion Reason being , although I have an iPhone ( and all things apple ),
It's an iPhone s e .
I'm getting fed up with the crap battery life and think that maybe going back to basic may be the way to go . I do miss the Mexican hat dance ringtone of my old red rubber brick Nokia tho0 -

Thought I'd best give an update :
Today I was still having trouble ,and there was no dealing tone at all.
I made a call from my mobile to test and could hear nothing .
So I phoned Vodafone ...
What happened then , I was chatting to a nice Egyptian lady who took care of me .
I found a filter and plugged it into the wall , as the Bt openreach faceplate is defective . I was told that I could leave the filter as is , or for £3 I could have a replacement .
I then asked if I could have this free as it is a fault not done by myself
The outcome was that I have had £10 paid into my account for the inconvenience . :T
This is because I am such a loyal customer . Well I have been with them since 1999 after all.
One thing to note tho:
I complained to them as one of their advisers called me back and never even said my name . Just " mate " a few times . Totally slimy and unprofessional . Maybe that's why I also got the £10 bonus:)0 -
