Ongoing phone problem - how do we get BT to take t...

How do we get BT to take a complaint seriously?
Phone appeared to stop working on Sunday 13 May - no dial tone. Contacted BT and was told it will be fixed prompty. Come Tuesday (15 May) phone was still not fixed. So contacted BT again. Well over a week later, and we still have no phone.
Since then, we have been phoning BT regularly, and getting a standard "an engineer is working on your problem, it will be fixed by close of play" answer. When I get home, still no phone service.
What is the next step I can take to get this fixed?
Last night, I was at work and my wife needed to contact me urgently. As I had the mobile phone, she had to get our two children out of bed and take them out in the car in search of a phone box at 11:30pm - she cannot leave a 3 year old alone in the house. Today my wife took our daughter for her dentist appointment only to find when she got there it had been cancelled, and they were unable to contact us. Whilst a few years ago, a phone was a luxury - in these days its a necessity.

If the fault is due to the BT Line, then they can arrange for a free divert of incoming calls to a mobile.
If you still cannot get it resolved then

  • On upgrading my iphone to ios 5, I have lost all music purchaes since August, despite backing up the phone.  How do i get them back again?

    On upgrading my iphone 3Gs to ios 5, I have lost all music purchaes made on the phone since August, despite backing up the phone.  How do I get them back again?  Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem on an iphone 4s running iOS8; when i updated to iOS8, all my ringtones went missing, and when i got a £50 gift card for christmas (2014), I purchased some songs from the iTunes store on my iPhone. i downloaded songs from paramore, panic! at the disco, coldplay, and imagine dragons, over wi-fi, and they went into my iphone music library; but when i re-opened the music app a few days later, in a place where i had no wi-fi, except for my 3G phone signal, some cloud icons appeared next to my newly purchased songs, telling me to re-download them from the cloud, when i haven't even deleted them. this has happened twice now, and i had to use up some of my 5GB data allowance to redownload them from the cloud. This is annoying and i need to fix this issue ASAP.

  • I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be bale to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Ay help gratefully received !!

    I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop(2012) and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be able to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Any help gratefully received !!

    Graham,
    For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc.  For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too.  If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

    OK. T-Mobile is NOT owned by AT&T... yet... The deal hasn't gone through yet. T-Mobie's US network is not compatible with the iPhone. Lots of things don't work right. There is not, and never has been an unlocked 3G sold in the US. Don't know where the phone originated, but more than likely it was in the US. If that's the case, the phone has been hacked/jailbroken to get it to work.
    Have you tried doing a restore or restoring the phone as new? I have to warn you, if you do so and the phone is hacked/jailbroken, it will re-lock to AT&T and will become unusalbe.  I think your best bet right now might be to save yourself a lot of grief and just upgrade to new phone from a legitimate source.
    I would never even consider buying an iPhone on ebay. 99% or more are hacked, jailbroken and/or stolen.

    Sorry you can't.  Looks like your phone restore to an older backup.
    future reference import your pics to your PC, that way you can always sync it back using itunes

  • Okay so my 64G iPhone 4S was stolen about a year and a half ago, it was backed up to my computer and I got a new iPhone but it's only 32G so I didn't have enough space to back it up as my old phone, so how do I get all my memory on my old phone back?

    Okay so my 64G iPhone 4S was stolen about a year and a half ago, it was backed up to my computer and I had used around 50G. I got a new iPhone a year ago but it's only 32G so I didn't have enough space to back it up as my old phone, so how do I get all my memory on my old phone back without having to get a 64G phone? Thanks

    No, there is no way to put more content then there is capacity for on the device.  As wjosten mentioned, you might be able to edit that backup to remove things to reduce it in size where you could then restore it to the new device, but obviously, everything that you had on the old iPhone will never fit on the new one.
    No matter what you do, you are going to end up with less content on the new device then on the old one - there is no way around that fact other than returning the 32GB iPhone and getting a 64GB one.  A gigabyte of data is a gigabyte of data, regardless of device, and will require a gigabyte of storage again, regardless of device.

    Have you backed up your iPhone 5 with iTunes?
    If so, you may use an iTunes backup extractor to recover your data from the backup file.

    You can use 'Recover from iTunes backup' mode to have a try.

  • I reinstalled my OS and now it wants to empty my phone.  How can I get it to back up my phone without removing the data?

    I reinstalled my OS and now it wants to empty my phone.  How can I get it to back up my phone without removing the data?

    You can't. But if you backed up your computer prior to wiping it out, you should be able to restore your iTunes library, contacts, photos, etc. from that backup. Once you do, you can set the phone up again and just sync everything from your library back to it.
    If you didn't back the computer up either, you can transfer items purchased on the phone into iTunes, and if you set up at least one contact in whatever application you sync your contacts to on the computer, it will offer to merge the address books on the first sync, saving those.  Any media you'd acquired from sources other than the iTunes store will have to be re-downloaded from the source or re-ripped.
    The iPhone is NOT a backup device.

    Transfer your purchases from old iPhone to computer iTunes, then select tones in iTunes with your new iPhone connected, do a sync.

  • Whenever I ask Siri a question it just links me to a website instead of just saying the answer.  The reason I ask Siri is because i am not in a position to look at my phone.  How can I get Siri to just answer my questions??

    Whenever I ask Siri a question it just links me to a website instead of just saying the answer.  The reason I ask Siri is because i am not in a position to look at my phone.  How can I get Siri to just answer my questions??

    I found that the only time Siri will read anything to you is if it finds a Wikipedia article. Siri will let you know it found that, and ask if you want it to be read out loud. Other than that you will hear the "I found this, take a look".
    The only other thing you can do is activate "Speak Screen". It will involve you taking a look at your phone for a moment, selecting what you'd like to look at, but Siri will read the content to you. It's in Settings > General > Accessibility.  Once activated, all you have to do is slide two fingers from the top of the screen and you will have it read to you. I use it all the time because of my astigmatism. It's pretty useful.

    You cannot unless you backed up your phone. If you had PhotoStream on, they might still be there as well.

  • I have deleted the music button/app from my phone. How do I get it back in my main settings?

    I have deleted the music button/app from my phone. How do I get it back in my main settings?

    You can't delete it.  Look on all your screens and inside all your folders.  If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.  (You may want to take some screenshots of your screens first so you can recreate your app layout.)

    I plugged my iphone5 into my computer and now all of my info is gone from phone. How do I get it back?

    When you connected it to thecomputer did it give you any errors?
    Did you have your phone backed up to icloud or to another computer?
    connect your iPhone to your computer with a usb cable
    open iTunes
    go to Storage
    find the "Restore" button
    click on it.
    your data will be restored.
