if I am using Digital Voice either making or receiving a call, others in the house are unable to join in the call through the two Home Phone Adapters that I have. Some mistake surely?
This has been answered many times on the forum. There is no connectivity between a phone directly connected to the hub and phones connected to an adapter. You also need to make sure that multi call is not enabled in the advanced features.
So you are saying that there is no way round this? You'd have thought that BT in all its wisdom might have wanted to continue this useful function.
No, the different types of connection appear to use different channels back to the hub DECT base station.
Devices connected by the same means should be able to join as long as multi call is disabled as otherwise the joiner would just be expected to be making a simultaneous call rather than joining a call.
excuse my ignorance, but how do I disable multicall? zThank you for your assistance
Its somewhere in the settings of the DV handset, I can't remember the exact sequence of menus but you can poke around as well as I can.
It’s open to debate if being able to eavesdrop on a call is a useful function, picking up a handset and being able to listen to someone else’s conversation I’d argue is something to design out rather than design in to the phone’s functionality.
You could get this three way call anyway , if you have multi call, while on the call , set up a three way call , with your own number as the new party to join the call , your second DV phone rings when you make this third party invitation call , then both DV specific handsets can be on the same three way call , that way it’s an invitation to join , rather than someone potentially spying on someone else.
