BT line check is rubbish. I had to drag them out to check my line few
years
ago. I=92m an Ex telecoms engineer, I think I know a dodgy line when I hear
it.  They  said they would send someone but =A350 if nothing is wrong.  The
tree in the garden had rubbed the insulation away and the wires were
shorting against each other. BT line  guy wasn=92t surprised.

Keith commented on a similar case back in 2005

http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/vbulletin/archive/index.php/t-387.html

down near the bottom of the page.

whenever the handset is on the hook and the line being permanently engaged.

and that the phones ringing constantly when called sounds like one of

wires is shorted to earth somewhere.
