1 make sure the phone works on another line on its own with a filter. If
yees, then the only issue assuming nothing else connected is their ruddy
socket.

BT line with phone and broadband.

Broadband is working OK and that has its own socket on the master socket.

I can only get the phone working if I plug directly into the socket behind
the face plate on the master socket. If I plug into the socket on the
faceplate, I don't get anything at all. BT have suggested that the micro
filter on the faceplate has failed, but I've replaced that with a new one,
and that doesn't work either.

Any suggestions on where to start looking next ?

Thanks

Adrian
