As far as I can work out in my case it is because the router does not
supply enough power for the ring signal to get through the truecall box
to the phone. But if the truecall itself provides the ring power then
the phone rings. So the upshot of that it that the system doesn't work
for trusted callers, only for callers who type the code in.

This is down to the type of router I expect but it isn't worth buying a
new router.

I did come across some device which would send a ringing signal but I
don't know if it would work so just haven't bothered.
