Phone not working & unable to log into account

[#1]

Hi all,

I recommended Plusnet to my elderly mother (who is just out of hospital) and noticed I was getting a 'number not in service' when I call. She's had the service for about two months, and had a direct debit set up, so as far as I know the account is in good standing (she had an email a few days recommending a different call package).  However when we went in to check the account it wasn't accepting the password, so we reset it, and it still won't take the new password (I did a copy and paste of the new password to ensure it was exactly the same). 

Calling the support on my mobile the automated messages said the call center is not taking any calls due high call volumes???

Any idea on how we restore access or submit a fault ticket for the line? Like I said she's just out of hospital so not being able to use the phone is pretty concerning 

Thanks in advance

@ahdguy I'm not PN staff, but a couple of questions: do you know if the service has ever worked? What happens if your mum dials 17070 - does it report her number, or is the line dead/reporting another number?

I have asked for this topic to be moved to a more relevant board so PN staff are more likely to spot it, btw.

Thanks - yes it's been working since recently (a week ago) but she got out of hospital yesterday and it's not working.  She said it's not able to dial out or is intermittent.  I can't give any more details because I'm unable to call her...  

I'll see if someone can pop round and check on her and the phone tomorrow morning. 

Gotta say it's pretty disappointing that a single elderly lady is at risk because there's no way to report a fault on her only means of communication...

OK, sorry to hear that, but unfortunately I don't think there are any PN staff about at the moment - @Gandalf ? - and this was unfortunately posted in the wrong board. Hopefully it will get moved and picked up early tomorrow.

Thanks for your post @ahdguy and welcome to our Community Forums.

I'm really sorry to see your mother's phone isn't working after she's returned from hospital.

Can you private message me on here (or Twitter) her account username or landline number, so I can see what I can do to help get her service back up and running? 

I'll tweet you back shortly also.
