Digital

Using digital, with an adapter. Calls in are fine, calls out only work intermittently so 1 succeeds in 4 or 5 attempts. All works fine if using wire directly from phone to hub. Have tried adapter up close to router but still have an issue. Hard wiring is only a temp solution as need to use the adapter long term.

Re: Digital

I have this problem, its also happened to me on hardwire telephone, but not as often through an adapter or cordless handset from BT.  I contacted BT about this problem, but they do no have a solution.

Re: Digital

As the OP states the problem is only when using an adapter and not when connected directly to the hub , it’s pretty clear it’s not the same issue as yours

Re: Digital

  • It’s similar.  It does not happen too often to the ones plugged into the hub, I have tested 20 calls, all connecting fine through the hub, one after the other, it does it more on the wireless.  I do hope the OP does not get the occasional miss on the ones in the hub like me.

Re: Digital

Respectfully it’s not a similar problem at all , seemingly the OP could have  a problem free service simply by removing the DV adapter from their setup and rely on a wired phone connected directly to the hub , presumably that arrangement isn’t convenient they want the phone located in a different place to the router …..your problem ( indicated on your own post ) states you have a problem regardless of the phone being connected to DV adapter or connected to the hub directly you made this point specifically even though you are now walking that comment back somewhat , if your own post had said calls were fine with the phone connected directly to the hub the advice given would have been completely different to what you were given .

If it is the DV adapter causing the problem , it’s worth having in mind that other companies like Sky and Vodafone for example (and others ) do not provide anything like this when they move their customers onto their version of ‘digital voice’ , they just say connect your phone to the hub directly, that’s it , no other assistance , in my opinion BT have made a rod for their own backs by providing DV adapter equipment for free that if it’s isn’t ‘perfect’ for the customer usage, it gets complained about , but BT get no credit for supplying it in the first place , perhaps BT should just do what others do and say connect your phone to the router and say to customers who do have a DV adapter , don’t use it if it’s not up to scratch, it not like it  cost you anything

Re: Digital

It wasn’t free. I bought it. I’m setting it up for an elderly relative who struggles with mobility hence need a phone near her chair. Which the wired setup doesn’t work.

i have not complained I was hoping for constructive help in solving an issue. That’s all.

Re: Digital

Presumably before the move to Digital Voice there was a convenient wired phone socket.

Existing wiring can be utilised by back feeding from the hub green socket. 

Alternatively, a standard cordless base station plugged into the hub will provide service for cordless handsets.

Re: Digital

Yes, true, however the phone I bought has a base unit with buttons you can add photos of contacts which is what I was hoping to utilise. I can buy another one similar with a an additional handset but the base unit will have to be plugged in nearer the router and so the “photo” element won’t be on the additional handset. 
I am aware her disabilities are the issue. If the filter/adapter had worked it would have solved the issue, hence me reaching out to see if anyone had similar issues and had fixed them.

BT DV adapters are supplied for free for those that want an adapter, I don’t know why you would choose to pay for one or multiple adapters when they can be supplied for free .
