Mr Coeur de Lion Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 We've been having short power cuts and today I noticed that the telephone light on the SFR box is not on.I have made calls today, incoming and outgoing, but the past hour or so it's not been on. Cannot make any calls and when I dial in from my mobile, it gives the engaged tone.Have changed a different phone, cables etc, but the result is the same. When I call with no phone connected, again, just the engaged tone.Any ideas? The internet is working fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Perhaps one of the power cuts has fried the box in some way? I had a similar problem after a power cut, phoned SFR, and a new box arrived for me at a local shop (their agent) within 48 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 My fone and internet went off yesterday for a few hours, then came on in the evening, so maybe just wait a few hours, or overnight, or forever. But will she wait if you don't call her every day, or will you be left like a lemon at the altar, or a melon at the alter, as she whizzes off into the sunset with your rival? Ah, the consequences of such little things as a power cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Wooly, I have never even met you, but it seems you know me so well...I'm not sure it is fried, why would the internet work and not the telephone? Plus I have it plugged into one of those surge protector packs.Edit: It's working again now. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 If you pull the power on the box and wait 15 seconds before plugging back in it will reset. This normally brings the phone back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On second thoughts, imagine a cross between our beloved Mr Bush and Dolly Parton whispering sweet nothings from across the pond. Hmmm, passss.

Gardian Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 If (when) it happens again, try the reset. It's a small hole on the LH side about two thirds of the way up.Poke a small screwdriver into the orifice and count to 10 (as in seconds). All the lights will go out and usually they'll all relight in turn over a space of a minute or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
