BT Digital Voice

Hi. Just wondered why If we are now moving to digital Voice why are the compatible phones like the BT Essential & Advance Digital Phones and Motorola FW500 Hybrid phones no longer available?
Many thanks

Don't know why those phones are no longer available, but ALL phones that previously worked on the older analogue PSTN system will work just as they always did on digital voice.
All you have to do is unplug the phone, or the phone's base unit, from the wall socket and plug it in instead to the socket on the back of the Smarthub 2 that you'll be sent before the switchover to DV.
There are no specifically "compatible" phones for DV.

Hi @mickjenny They are probably aligning themselves with all the other ISPs that provide a home phone calling plan.
