You can still use the digital handsets, or any existing phones that you have.

When you move to DV you should be provided with a Smart Hub 2, if you don't already have one. This has a standard BT telephone socket on the back (I believe covered by a sticker) which is where you connect your alarm. This should work but you won't know for certain until you try it.

The SM2 is also a DECT base station, so the BT handset connects wirelessly to that. No need for an ATA.
