Default Re: Calling the old BT technicians...

In post #1 the OP says that he hears ring tone from the earpiece of his iPhone. This indicates to me that a call has been set up to somewhere.

In a later post he says a phone "sort of vibrates" when the call is made.

The OP should attempt to actually answer the call. If he is able to do so, this will indicate that the call has been set up to the correct destination, but there is a problem with the ringing circuit.

If he hears dial tone when he answers, but there's still ring tone from the iPhone, then the call has been set up to the wrong destination.

If he cannot answer the call, then things get more complicated. It could be there's an intermittent line fault of some kind. If a second mobile phone is available, then make a second call to the "faulty" line whilst maintaining the original one. Engaged Tone will indicate that the original call has been set up correctly.
