Review: A no-frills digital phone for people who want an alternative to mobiles - With BT gradually shutting down old-fashioned telephony, landline technology is being superseded by a new system in which phones work via a radio link to a BT Smart Hub router. BT offers two of these Digital Voice phones, a more expensive model that includes desertcart's Alexa and this cheaper, basic variant. The phone arrives in a cardboard box in which you'll also find a little docking station, a cable to connect the station to the mains and a simple instruction leaflet. Two rechargeable AAA batteries are already installed. All that you need to do to get the phone working is to charge it up and then press and hold the WPS button on the left hand side of your Smart Hub for two seconds. It really is as simple as that. The phone's sound quality is wonderful, and will be a revelation to any old person who has never used any telephone but an analogue one. Its features include a button for blocking nuisance calls and a wide choice of ringtones. Its screen isn't quite as good as its pricier sibling's, and its buttons feel a bit cheaper too, but the difference isn't enormous. All in all, what appears to be a reasonably well engineered product , and a phone that won't cost you an arm and a leg,
Review: Easy to use, clear enough for my elderly mothers hearing. - Really good phone for my elderly mother. Clear voice, easy to use and has enough features such as answer phone button, missed calls and block calls button, without it being too complicated. Only downfall was the button to put you onto speaker phone is a bit fiddly and requires at least 3 presses ,sometimes more

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Please, how do you use this as internal phone? User Guide doesn't say.**
A: You cant

**Q: Can this handset be used to call another connected  handset ie as an internal phone? as well as for external calls.**
A: With the handset in its home position, you will find 4 small circles in brackets near the bottom of the window. Move the cursor to the fourth circle and the internal call is displayed at the top of the window allowing you to call all handsets or one individual by pressing OK and then you can speak to another similar handset. Good luck.

**Q: Does this have an answer machine**
A: Hi
This one doesn’t I’m afraid. You will need to search for “BT Essential telephone with answer machine” you will get the same one with that feature. Thank you

**Q: Is there one handset or two**
A: Two. However the BT Smart Hub has a variation for a business which doesn't allow the Home Phone to connect!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Modern features in a house phone
*by T***N on 18 December 2022*

When BT change you to 'digital voice' your old phone can't just be plugged in. BT will send you a widget to put between your router and your old phone. That only works if Royal Mail are not on strike and they actually deliver it! After a week and a half with no phone I reluctantly ordered this handset from Amazon and it was delivered over night. It appears to be the only domestic digital land line phone available, and will only work with BT's Smart Hub 2 router on your broadband. WIFI connection was very simple and worked first time in a few seconds. The handset has lots of modern features enabling you to make the best of the digital voice service and, while the instruction manual is extensive and well written, there is quite a lot to take in if you wish to make use of all the features. It stands on its own charger while not being used, although you can leave it there if you like to use the phone hands-free. I think the sound quality is OK - I'm rather deaf so it is never really clear to me at best. Digital voice has a built-in answering service which you get at via 1571, and there is a button on this handset to call this directly. Once the widget turns up (it's actually called a Digital Voice Adapter) you can connect your old handsets to the digital service. Again, this is connected very easily by WIFI. It is perfectly possible to have both old and new handsets connected to the same phone line, through your broadband. There is a potential for difficulty if you have other equipment connected to your old phone - equipment that will auto-answer a call, such as your own message recorder, a fax machine, a call blocker, etc. One needs to set the auto-answer on the digital phone to max, and reduce the auto answer time on your device to '9 seconds', I found that more than 7 seconds wouldn't work. You need to do this to ensure that your device auto-answers before digital voice. Recommended. One feature that may be very useful in a busy household is that, while you have just one phone 'line' with one phone number, the digital line can accommodate up to five simultaneous calls. I haven't tested this feature, but when setting the digital system up I found that this facility clashes with the use of the attached auto-answer equipment on my old handsets. I have had to switch off the multi-call facility, but I can see that it would be excellent in an all digital handset set up.
