Activation of digital voice

Go to solution

I ordered DV, yesterday was supposed to be the day of activation. Nothing has happened and no update from BT

when I check order status I get this and I don't know what else I need to do, my broadband is already set up

my landline is still working, so I'm assuming the DV is still not activated .

Also, I have a BT Xenox 1500 and a Panasonic KX-TG6801E,  are they both compatible with DV?

Any phone that worked on the PSTN will work on DV. The green socket at the rear of the hub replicates the master socket.

"my landline is still working, so I'm assuming the DV is still not activated".

If by that you mean that you've still got a dialling tone on a phone plugged into your old wall socket, then DV has not yet been set up.
BT seem quite often to give a date for migration to DV and then not adhere to it.
I had the same experience and went onto BT's chat function to find out what was going on. The representative I dealt with said she couldn't give me a date for the migration, but the best way to get progress was to raise a complaint! I said I wasn't actually complaining only seeking information, but she insisted that a complaint was the best way forward. So I complied and my DV service was turned on the next day.
BT operates in mysterious ways!

yes, I still have a dialling tone if plugged in to the wall socket. I will ask them, it's not a top priority as long as I have the line working. But it would be nice to know when they are actually doing it

Today I received a text message from order management system saying they had to cancel my order because of a problem with their system. They will place a new order. This is the 3rd time it's happened with this order. 

I wondering of they can't provide me with Digital Voice ?

Hello @borderline

Thanks for keeping us updated. 

Have you been able to speak with customer care to get some confirmation?

If not I would recommend getting in touch.

With BT, migration to DV will happen when it will happen. BT has no direct control when it will happen because it's done by Openreach which OFCOM insists must operate entirely separately from ISPs like BT & EE.
If your existing analogue landline is still working, it's not really worth expending a lot of effort trying to get a definite date out of BT.
