Something strange is happening to my phone

mehmeh12 · 2010-01-08 00:38:27

Hi Ive got an eircom landline that was generally ok but today started acting funny. First theres a strange crackling noise in the background when i pick up the phone and when people ring me they get sometimes through to a totally different number-anyone know what might cause this-are eircom landlines being frozen?

Pitch it to RTE.
They give shows to anything even remotely funny.

Crossed lines, it could be to do with the snow, but in any case it shouldn't happen. It happened to our line when someone shot a telephone pole with a lot of equipment on it with a shotgun. Get onto eircom

Some day, just some day, maybe we'll have a Nets & Comms section where this kind of question can get an answer...

I agree with whoever suggested offering it to RTE. Their standards are lower than yours.
