Quick answer
The phone icon on your Movistar router is blinking red: there is an issue registering the phone line on the network. If the blinking lasts a long while, turn the router off and on; Movistar says you will not lose your settings.

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Check the voice line registration
What they doMovistar technical support checks in its systems whether the router's voice line registers on the network and which step fails.

Confirm whether voice runs over fibre or copper

Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Colour and pattern of the phone icon
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- look at the phone icon: blinking blue means registering, solid blue means service available, blinking red is the issue, and off can mean voice over copper.
- Result that matters:
- confirming the blinking is red and lasts longer than a normal startup.
- If it is red and persists:
- go on to the restart.
- If it is blue or turns solid:
- registration is in progress or done; no action needed.
- Evidence to keep:
- a short video of the icon and the time you saw it.

Turn the router off and on
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- turn the router off, wait a moment and turn it back on. Movistar says you will not lose your settings.
- Result that matters:
- whether the phone icon turns solid blue after startup.
- If it is solid blue:
- the voice service is available.
- If red blinking returns:
- registration still fails; report it to Movistar.
- Evidence to keep:
- time of the restart and the icon state afterwards.

Report it to Movistar
- Who:
- you, from another phone or by chat.
- How:
- say that the router's phone icon is blinking red and that you already restarted the router.
- Result that matters:
- that Movistar checks your voice line registration.
- If they find an issue:
- fixing it is Movistar's responsibility.
- If they say your voice runs over copper:
- the router icon does not apply to your line and a different check is needed.
- Evidence to keep:
- ticket number and date.

What it means
Movistar explains that on the HGU router the phone icon blinks blue while the voice service registers and turns solid blue when it is available. Blinking red signals an issue registering the phone on the network. If the icon is off, your voice service may run over copper rather than fibre, which is a different situation. The light does not say where the fault is or that the router is faulty.
