Test socket question
What exactly should I hear when I plug a corded phone into the test socket?
I'm trying to gather more evidence to call-out BT to fix a crappy, noisy, crackly line and the other day when I plugged the phone into the test socket I swore I could hear music and what sounded like someone talking Nothing else was connected to any of my other extensions. |

You should hear your dial tone.
Dial 17070 and key 2 to test for quiet line (or 1 for ringback test). |

One of the openreach guys said the 17070 number isn't working anymore (well, it requires authorisation now by an Openreach dude). We have a VM phoneline so can't test this unfortunately.

you can still do the quiet line(option 2) and the ringback (option 1) but it won't let you do the advance test's like line lengths and quality tests. unless your me.

![]() Just done another test socket connection tonight and got the dial tone this time? Very strange. Last night when I put it all back together and did a speedtest it kept saying the phone number was not correct for the login account - maybe the exchange got it's knickers in a twist. It was all sorted after a re-boot. |
