Dear Guy,

Many thanks for your input.. My Beocom 6000 PSTN connector is as per your illustration on the left with the white dot & the line connections further apart. The Beoline (113068 GB) RJ11 plugs into a B&O adaptor with the pins close together - 3&4 from your description. Further attempts to use the Beoline direct & via Virgin adaptor have failed.

If Isthatteh beotime looks in again has anyone else fed back to him on success with his sequence?

Many thanks both

Well, I have solved the issue of Beocom 6000 not accepting incoming calls after enforced switch by Virgin to phone over fibre via their adapter by moving away from Virgin. I've ported my home phone to a separate VOIP  provider - https://www.voipfone.co.uk/ - others are available. Using a generic VOIP adapter/gateway the whole Beocom system functions seamlessy again - despite using a very old PSTN base. Virgin take note

This issue has probably been resolved now by many / most of you, but I outsourced my grievance to a very helpful small independent vintage telephone specialist company who weren’t aware of the problem. I sent them my Beocom 2 Mk1, they disassembled it to ascertain the issue and how the B&O design was supposed to work, then designed and built me a small box (like a plug in adapter for between the Beocom 2 and the wall socket). It works perfectly alongside my Panasonic DECT phones within the home.

Company details for anyone who’s interested:

Email: vintagetelephoneysales@virginmedia.com and address to Chris.

The cost charges was very small compared to the number of hours I’d spent pondering over various threads on the issue. Very happy with the solution they’d resolved, and it’s been working faultlessly for about 9 months now.
