Hi all

I have a couple of flats all linked together with a pabx system.
In one of the flats, I got slingshot to order a new phone line, and they said the chorus person would be in contact with a time to start work on the job.

They called, and declined the work order a few times because they couldnt find the address.
Then we gave them the property id off the rates bill and herd nothing since.

Yesterday I got a call from one of the people staying in the flats that there was a chorus guy poking around. I wanted them to call me first so i could be there and tell him all i wanted was the line hooked up to and tested at the demarc - i would do the internal house wiring, since the cable from the demarc to the master socket was cut in the attic.

Instead he had gone to the master socket in the house and tried to test it there, and found of course that there was no connection. The phone plugged into the socket was quite clearly a pabx keyphone that worked fine. He had pulled out the wiring behind the plug and then decided to call me.

I told him i only wanted it hooked up at the demarc and I would do the rest, but i didnt know he had played with the wiring behind the master socket, and now that extension has an annoying hissing sound when you try to call on it. I think he may have shorted something in the pabx.

Has this sort of thing happened to anyone before?
