PHONE SOCKET NEEDS TO BE MOVED

I would like to have one of my phone sockets moved or a replacement put in as I can't reach the socket where it is at the moment if I need to change my phone etc.  What would the engineer charge to do this and how much, how do you order as all that is mentioned on the BT site is ordering a new phone line!

Welcome to the forum. If it's the master socket it has to be done by Openreach; call 0800 800 150 and get it done for about £130, roughly the same hourly rate as Bill Gates. If it's an extension you can use Yellow Pages.

  • Moving the master phone socket

    I want to move the master phone socket from downstairs to upstairs. The phone cable on the outside wall runs from upstairs, so I figure this shouldn't be too much of a problem, but is there anywhere I can find more information about this? (like how much it might cost, how long it would take, etc.)
    Thanks.
    Solved!

    you would need to contact bt sales and get them to
    place the order to move the master socket they should be able to give you a date for the work to be done the cost will be around £130.00

  • Can you get multiple phone socket working with BT ...

    Hi,
    So I recently had a BT engineer visit, he connected the phone line on the main socket then left. A week later they turned my BT infinity on.
    It works great but the main socket is in a different room to my office. I have a phone socket in my office right next ot my pc. But when i plug my router into this socket it fails to produce an internet connection. 
    Is there a way to get multiple phone sockets working? I would like to move my hub so it is in my office but the socket isnt giving off internet.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You need to identify the cables connected to the removable faceplate beside the red arrow - these are the extension cables to other sockets in the house. 
    Connected from here you will get voice only - not data. 
    If there is more than 1 cable you need to identify the one to your office, remove it and fit the cables to the yellow arrow connections. 
    You only need to connect the cables connected to 2 & 5 (there may be more connected to the faceplate)
    guide on this link  although it does not tell you the 2/5 connection order - I don't think polarity matters - but someone with more knowledge can advise. 
    A potential problem you may have is if there are other extension sockets connected to your office socket you use (and not the faceplate) as these then are not suitable  for phone - only data. 
    With DECT phones and the need for just one basestaion not really a probem nowadays but you need to know where each socket in your house is connected from, and what you want to use it for. 
    If you have any BB problems, BT will also insits you plug the router/modem back into the master socket for all testing. 
    EDited to add - a krone insertion tool is best for inserting the cables to the socket and has a nice pick to disconnect also. They are easy to use - search you tube for a video. 

  • Using phone extensions or more than 1 phone socket...

    Dear All,
    Your help would be much appreciated.
    I am currently with o2 broadband and am looking to go with infinity but I need the following question answered:
    My master socket is in the living room which the infinity router and modem will be installed. I have a satellite receiver in the living room which needs Internet connection through an Ethernet cable. Now I have my PS3 upstairs in my room which has no phone line socket so I am using a telephone extension lead from another room next to mine which has a phone socket into my room, to connect my PS3 hard wired to the modem which I bring upstairs to my room to play my PS3 on, how would this work with the set up of infinity router and modem?
    BT say they can only enable one phone socket in the house which is the master socket. So the ps3 will have to be connected wireless but for online gaming wireless connections are not that good.
    Is it possible to have more than 1 phone socket enabled? Master socket and the upstaires bed room socket with a phone extention to my room?
    Or can I get a new phone line socket installed into my room?

    If you are not using the telephone extension for any telephone appliances eg for just the PS3, why not use a long ethernet cable (or Homeplugs/Wireline adaptors) from one of the routers ethernet sockets instead?
    For instance you can find such cables here.

  • No Master Phone Socket.

    Setting up the new router when I noticed there is no master phone socket instead there is a extension socket which then connects to very old looking cream coloured oval plastic box which then connects to the main BT phone wire. Since I believe this oval box belong to the property of BT , I need EE to contact BT Open reach to send engineer to fit a master phone socket as I'm concerned over the safety of this very old oval plastic box and the wiring within it has become fragile, as such I believe this will negatively impact the effectiveness and efficency of the broadband whilst also being a potential risk and as such EE and BT have a duty of care for it customers. I've attempted many times over phone and by email to resolve this issue without any resolution.

    How do know the single phone socket is not a master? All houses are fitted with 1 master socket and 0 or more extensions. Can you post a picture of its internals? The oval box is just a Block Terminal connecting the external to the internal wiring and is BT's property as you say. They are fairly reliable.
    Is this for ADSL BB or Fibre?

  • Connecting router to phone socket

    Hi,
    I recently ordered BT broadband. I also had to order a phone line, even though I don't use one. While ordering I indicated that I would like to use my own router.
    Today my line was activated and I was expecting a package from BT with everything but the router (e.g. all other necessary cables, a modem, etc.).
    However, I got nothing, except for my own router, my own ethernet cables and a BT Openreach wall socket. That's it. Now I have trouble connecting the two.
    I've called support and after a maze of menus I finally spoke to a semi-tech person who wanted to send me ethernet cables. I have plenty of my own ethernet cables! But they don't fit into BT socket.
    Can anyone advise what to do, how to connect the router (a regular cisco home router) and the phone socket. I'm completely frustrated, I have been waiting about 2 weeks for my internet, and now I'm paying for something I can't use
    I'm currently connected to a neigbour's open wifi with hardly any signal.
    I'll appreciate any help
    thanks
    Matt

    If its normal ADSL broadband that you have, then you need an ADSL modem or an ADSL modem/router combination, like the BT Home hub.
    A standard router with a WAN (Ethernet) connection is no good.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

    It is certainly not a virus. There are none.

    Sometimes all that is required is to restart the iPhone.

  • I  spend good money for my iPhone i have the iPhone 5 with the new charger slot which is smaller. I have been through at least 3 charging cords and this is not acceptable to me. i never had a problem with this on my older phone. apple needs to correct tho

    I  spend good money for my iPhone i have the iPhone 5 with the new charger slot which is smaller. I have been through at least 3 charging cords and this is not acceptable to me. i never had a problem with this on my older phone. apple needs to correct this and reimburse me for this cord.

    Charging cords are covered by the iPhone warranty or their own warranty
    if puchased separately. Take your iPhone and the cords to your local
    Apple store for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • When I send a text message I do not get any confirmathat it has been delivered.  Is there a way of getting an automated confiramtion of deleivery as I'm used to having this on a previous phone, and need to know that my texts have been delivered.

    When I send a text message I do not get any confirmation that it has been delivered.  Is there any way of getting an automated message confirmation delivery and time?  I was used to this with my old phone and need to know that my text message has been delivered to the recipient's phone, and when.

    Thanks.  So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery.  Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone.  It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:

    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

  • FTP Transfer: based on filename it needs to be moved to different directory

    Hi,
    I am doing a FTP transfer of file from one location to another. In this scenario, based on filename the file needs to be moved to Directory A or Directory B.
    Is this possible having a single receiver file adapter?
    Regards,
    Ashish

    Hi Ashish
    What you can do is
    1. You can pick the file from location and use variable substitution to deliver the file on base of filename. But the limitation is folder name should have some characters common to filename as well.
    2. You can write file to a temperory location and then execute OS command to move the files to appropriate folders
    3. Create two communication channels and enhanced receiver determination to find our which folder based on filename at runtime.
    Thanks

  • I updated to ios 5.1.1 and added icloud services. the problem is now whenever i connect my iphone to my PC, itunes does not recognize my phone. i need it to but it just does not connect..

    i updated to ios 5.1.1 and added icloud services. the problem is now whenever i connect my iphone to my PC, itunes does not recognize my phone. i need it to but it just does not connect..

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. Yu can make an appointment at the the Genius Bar of an Apple store or try:
    fix for Home button
