Digital voice and power cuts.

[Simpson42]

The DV phone we were sent, you have to ask for it or a converter for a normal phone, is great.  We have abandoned our DECT phone because the new phone works a treat.

I think I said that if it has been converted to Digital Voice then it would work...

[globe1nh]

I agree.  I started off with an adapter and my existing BT Synology DECT phones but switched to the BT DV handsets within a couple of weeks...

We know it works, the OP has been using it, ergo it has DV.

[myquest]

Yes, I do. That's obviously the answer for me but I was more worried about my elderly inlaws who might be unable to find their mobiles in an emergency.

[licquorice]

I do wish people would stop equating age with inability to use and understand technology

[globe1nh]

Given @myquest was talking specifically about his/her elderly relatives and presumably has some knowledge of them and their capabilities, that's not a particularly sagacious response...

[JB2016]

But can we equate former employment with the GPO/PO/BT with a propensity for condescending sarcasm?

[globe1nh]

You might think that; I couldn't possibly comment...
