Want home phone back

Can I get back my home phone if I upgrade to full fibre? We ditched our landline but our mobile signals are so unreliable we regret it!!

You can add a phone package, but you would not be able to get back your original number, you would be assigned a new number over BT Digital Voice.

If you have smartphones then look at WiFi Calling.

Does that work for incoming calls too?

@Lynneypinny

WiFi calls on a mobile phone allows your mobile to use the WiFi to enable both incoming, outgoing calls along with text messages. Useful if you have poor mobile network inside your home

Check if your mobile operator and mobile plan has WiFi calling included. You may need to switch it on both your mobile plan and mobile device

@Lynneypinny Yep. You just need to check that your mobile provider offers WiFi calling and that your phones are compatible. I use it all the time and it works like a charm. Any calls or texts come off your regular mobile allowances.
