Phoned their help desk but they told me that they have no problem at their side. Anyone of you people out there having similar issues? My Fibre Internet is working OK. no issues.	bk T (215)
1477701	2021-06-10 02:00:00	That's not terribly helpful......at their site....it's plugged into the ont right? Does the POTS lights show on it? or not. If not, call them back...chorus may be involved but they should be escalating it to them. or, is the phone flat?	piroska (17583)
1477702	2021-06-10 02:51:00	It was working fine since 2 days ago when I wanted to make a call and it has no dial tone. Called their helpdesk, asked me to do all the basics. no joy. As I need to go out, I terminated the call. Came back about 3 hours later and found that it's work OK... LOL. Yesterday was still working fine but this morning when I wanted to make a call, the dial tope is gone....	bk T (215)

On the very Odd time our VOIP drops, (only twice in as many months, no dial tone), 1st thing is check the LED on the Router that displays the phone is actually on. Assuming it is, normally just unplug the routers power, plug it back in, reboots, dial tone back. Same thing with the TV, the Vodafone Box turn it off then back on - Problem solved. ( don't normally turn that off, only the TV at night). Only other time we had problems was when 1st installed - someone didn't do something correctly and for a few weeks it would drop, they needed to reset the connection at their end, after that, no problems. If its not the actual connection on the internet, check all the cables are in good conditions and firmly plugged in. Sometimes simply unplugging a cable and putting back can solve it. :)	wainuitech (129)
1477704	2021-06-10 03:43:00	Did all those basics, like restart, unplug and re plug... Never happened since changed to VOIP many years ago... May consider to go without landline all together.	bk T (215)
1477705	2021-06-10 05:18:00	So, is in it in the ONT, if it's Spark it must be. Reboot the ONT. But first check the cable into the ONT isn't loose, I had one where the clippy bit was broken and found if it moved just a tiny bit, you'd get a dead phone. I used a new cable and all was well.	piroska (17583)
1477706	2021-06-10 09:42:00	Rebooted the ONT several times, replaced a new cable, still the no dial tone. Tried their online chat, Stupid Ivy.... the most stupid online chat I ever come across.. Have to contact their helpdestk tomorrow.	bk T (215)
1477707	2021-06-10 22:13:00	I like the chat, usually heaps better than ringing. I cancelled husbands phone plan a while ago. Via chat, said just his number, not the whole account. Why she says, not yours, he died I said. Sorry she said and did it immediately, saying she was wiping the no notice fee (didn't know there was one)....and it was done there and then. Found them better with faults too, the bot bit, well just type nonsense it gives up and gives you the Click For a Human pretty quick...	piroska (17583)
1477708	2021-06-11 03:03:00	Did all those basics, like restart, unplug and re plug . . . . you need to try another phone , with a new cable , plugged directly into the ONT (I think spark voip is a direct plug into the ONT, not the router ? ) It could be the actual phone, ph cable , the socket on the ONT , any internal ph cabling . . . . . . . Its hard when its intermittent . . . .	1101 (13337)
1477709	2021-06-11 04:18:00	1101, tried all those. Used 3 different phones. new cables, plugged directly into the ONT. Yes. SPark VOIP plugs directly into the ONT. Have been using it for many years when VOIP was first introduced, without any issues..until ...	bk T (215)
