Default Re: (8)746G DFM 83/2 - Stopped ringing, need pointers on trouble shooting

I doubt very much there is anything wrong with the phone itself, it will more likely be an issue with the extension wiring in your new house, specifically the connection to pin 3 of the socket, as modern phones work fine without it.

Try plugging the phone into the larger master socket where the line enters the property.

The easiest way to make it ring in this circumstance is to plug the phone in via a spare broadband microfilter, as this will have a capacitor which recreates the missing ringing signal on pin 3.
