| 433943 | 2006-02-26 05:23:00 | neighbour from flat 4 in our row of flats, (we're number 1) just came around before and asked if we were using phone on friday night around 8pm, girlfriend said yes she was on phone to her parents, and we wondered why...apparently when he went to make a call on his landline, he didnt get a dialtone, he got OUR landline, and heard the convosation so he hung up the phone and then picked it up again and it was working normal like nothing happened? Is this a bizzarre occurance? Or does it actually happen but rarely? and what action should we take? I thought hmm ring telecom but what can they do? |

| 433945 | 2006-02-26 05:31:00 | Oh ok, so nothing we can do? or should it be reported? or wait until it happens again? i'm only concerned because we've made phone orders before and have had credit card details going over the line, (i keep a very close eye on cc statements neway both on internet banking and in post)...but yeah dont want to risk it, and to be sure and yeah. |

| 433948 | 2006-02-27 02:27:00 | You might be on the same physical pair of wires. That's about the only way thios could happen (and clear itself). Unlike the old party lines, this new improved technology should keep the users separated. (It will probably reduce modem speed. ;) ) Tell telecom about this ... they might put in new lines: one each. :D |

| 433950 | 2006-02-27 04:04:00 | I used to wire phone systems in the States, and the standard is different here. I've never heard of / seen two analogue phones using different phone numbers, but sharing the same wires, home or office. Of course, many homes have multiple jacks sharing one line. Digital systems, like VOIP, can share wires between indepenent phones of course. The only time I've seen crossed connections is from a problem at the PBX / PABX, or from wiring induction / crosstalk. |

| 433951 | 2006-02-27 04:13:00 | ODD alright. I wonder if it could be the phones themselves, or one of them. I had a phone go really wierd on me. First it started making a hissing noise, when it was hung up, and then every so often like few times a day it would give a beep and then nothing and pick and all you hear is this hissing again. The last straw for that one is then the phone rang, I pick it up and hear this recorded message. "The number you have called is not the NZ emergency number. Hang up immediately and dial 111." True. Pretty wierd huh? |

| 433952 | 2006-02-27 04:23:00 | they dont know why it happened, but they're blaming our cordless phones . . . as he has one and we have one . . . . . so some interference there . . . so says telecom . . . There's your likely answer, take your phone to your neighbours and see if you can use his line to call your own number, or get him down your end and see if he can call his number . If you can, change the channel on one or other phones . I presume they will have a choice of channels to use, both my Panasonic and my Uniden do . Cheers Billy 8-{) |
