Registering a BT Advanced Digital Home Phone

caravanj — Sun, 05 Nov 2023 20:27:00 GMT

Although I have no intention whatsoever of using it for calls, I bought it just to see what it looked like in comparison to the photos of it & I've found out, via another thread, that it can be used to switch off the multiple call function which I will do.

I've attempted to register it tonight with no success despite reactivating the hub's WiFi.

Is my assumption that the SSID & password have to be the same as the hub's original SSID & password before I changed them when I installed the mesh system correct?

It requires the BT Smart Hub 2 and connects via the Hub's built in DECT receiver rather than WiFi.

You can check the status of it's connected to the DECT receiver via the Hub's web gui (http://192.168.1.254)

Do you have an active digital voice required for registering the phone

@jac_95 & @imjolly

Thanks for your replies.

Yes, it's a Hub 2 & I have Digital Voice with my package.

I reset the hub & disconnected the mesh system & it registered immediately but as you say, its DECT so maybe it was a fluke that it didn't register the first few times.

Anyway I've changed the line to single call & disabled call transfer as there's only me in the house.

The phone can now go back in it's box, never to see the light of day again.
