Difficulties to communicate via landline between US & UK not possible

What difficulties? Are you replacing the initial 0 of UK number by +44?

The US party dials my UK number and the call does not connect, we have checked and verified numbers. The call is from a standard US landline to my digital UK landline. Never used to have any issue with BT on their old system. We have verified dialling country codes etc.

@Monique77 , have they tried 0044 instead to see if that works?

@Monique77 No other issues with the DV service, just that particular call that you are aware off? Also have a look at your call protect service that you have, see the extract below.
With your Call Protect service, we
identify and add a list of nuisance
callers who we’ll send straight to your
junk voicemail, cutting down your
unwanted calls. This is the BT Blacklist
and is turned on automatically with
your new service.
Your own Personal Blacklist is also
turned on automatically with your
new service and allows you to send
numbers to your junk voicemail.
It puts you back in control of your
calls: you can block certain call
types, like Withheld, International or
Unrecognised numbers, sending them
straight to your Personal Blacklist.

@Monique77
Has the US party tried calling any other UK landline number, to confirm the issue is not on their end?
