If your phone base unit is that close to the BT Hub, you don't actually need the adapter and the base unit would be better off plugged into the Hub, but understand your reluctance to move things.
Thank you very much for your reply.
i tried to do an online chat again yesterday to no avail.
I will ring/message BT.
Thank you, Susan J
To be honest, I suspect that if you can get someone to assist with moving the base unit connection from the adapter to the hub it will meet with greater success than talking to BT.
Thank you very much for your reply. We have a visitor soon who will probably help us. Best wishes, Susan J>
