Colour of display on Advanced Digital Home Phone
The display on my handset is either yellow or black background with white text. Following the instructions (menu, phone settings, display), I have gone to change the display colour and options are ‘pastel’ or ‘high contrast’. Pastel is the yellow colour. It’s like a yellow highlighter colour, sometimes looks yellowy-green.
Isn’t it supposed to be blue?
I called BT and they verified yes it should be blue and sent me a new handset which is the same.
I sent a photo to my Sister to check if I haven’t gone colour blind! (I haven’t).
Any one else experienced this? Many thanks.

Re: Colour of display on Advanced Digital Home Phone
I think it is the same phone. Mine is the 'Alexa Digital Home Phone' with Alexa built-in. On the box is Advanced Digital Home Phone-Alexa (Type A). Item 101806. S/N +101806+2304574110.
Even though I have selected the colour scheme 'high contrast' which shows as black background/white font, it still glows a dull lime green when I get an incoming call.
Still waiting for the tech team to come back to me on Twitter, yesterday they said they would investigate further.
Thank you!

Re: Colour of display on Advanced Digital Home Phone
Hello, I spoke to BT via Twitter who investigated and couldn’t figure out why, they said it should be blue.
They sent a new handset, it was the same!
I am now sending all three handsets back and going back to my old Panasonic phone which I’ll plug into the back of the router. I actually prefer the quality/feel of it and it needs charging less frequently.
Good luck!
