BT Aura 1500 handsets

[joepineapples]

Getting full fibre in a few weeks and now wondering if it's digital voice system will play nice with my old BT Aura 1500's (1 base station, plus 2 other singles).  I'd rather continue to use them, with it's own answer machine, than the digital voice phone being sent.  Do I just plug the base station into the green socket, with nothing else to do?

thanks.

Yes, but you will need to increase the number of rings on 1571, otherwise it will answer the call before your answer machine.

Thanks Keith.  Where would I change that setting from?.

Sorry, I am not sure. It may be an option on the 1571 menu.

you can change the number of rings before 1571 answers in MYBT under digital voice
