Problem with line going blank

Craig Cockburn

Hi

At home I have a Panasonic DECT phone, when I call the house using my
mobile ocassionally (maybe about once a fortnight) there are sporadic
intervals of about 10 seconds when I can hear absolutely nothing from
the other end and the conversation stops mid word. This especially
seems to happen when I call around 5:30-6 and much less so when I
phone in the morning. I'm calling from the middle of Belfast using
Orange and at home the line is provided by BT and shared with a
broadband/WiFi router with an ADSL filter on the line. I also noticed
the problem before we moved house in September but tended to think
that it was the house phone that was the problem. I contacted the
makers of the phone and they are 99% certain it's an issue with the
mobile network in the area I'm calling from (which might explain why
it is more in the evenings).

Any particular views on what the cause might be here?

thanks

Craig

Can you phone your house phone from another phone at the same time that
the problems exhibit themselves (preferably from another network and
ideally from a fixed line)?
