Hi Justin. Yes, that is what appears to be happening at my end. However, when I say, I have 3 telephones in my house, B.T did not set them up or do they charge me for them. All I did was purchase a few junction boxes and some cable and have 1 phone upstairs and 2 downstairs. B.T would have charged me a fortune to set this up. So perhaps because I did it myself, I am having this irritating problem. Perhaps if I can find out where my nearest B.T shop is, I can purchase a third filter for the telephone which is causing the difficulty. Best wishes. Andy from sunny Kilcreggan.
