I've found a current spare DECT base & hand set, all paired-up . Is it a good idea to put it in the 'Green Socket', anytime before DV-Day ? Simply, to see if anyone in 'Migration' wants to try the DV-Link ? Although, the SH2 might need a 3-pin reset, when DV is ready to go ?
@imjollywrote:no point in connecting to 'green socket' until DV active
I've had a look in the Hub Manager: the 'phone' icon, 'NOT CONFIGURED'. I'll keep it monitored, for a change of status.
I've had an email and a text confirming the Migration.

The Good News.
DV has arrived. Best to run a few checks. (used to do this stuff, for a living).
1. Hub Manager 'PHONE' populated as required.
2. Backed-Up HUB CONF.
3. DECT-Phone-2-Green Socket.
4. Dialtone : OK.
5. Backed up : HUB CONFIG.
6. Rang DV-Number, from a cellphone : OK.
7. Downloaded : EVENT LOG : OK. (2C, when the magic happened).
8. Check : Power-Outage/Restore : OK.
9. Backed up : HUB CONFIG.
10. RELUCTANT TO MAKE A CALL ¦ SEE 'THE BAD NEWS'.
The Bad-News.
The Call-Package still indicates 22.84p @ min/£13.00 @ hour.
MYBT ¦ 'LANDLINE', Displays the legend 'ADD NOW', not 700mins @ £7.00 (now £9.36.) Still an option in the BT Consumer Price Guide 19/JAN/2024.
Had a look at Call-Plans, only x2. PAYG & UNLIMITED.
I've 150 coming back to me on this issue. Having spoken to x2 operatives already; I'm not impressed with Customer Service & Satisfaction, (or is that a fanciful previous-life notion, in this day and age ?)
Waiting for the 'Migration Order'-2-Progress. BT has gone a bit quiet, just now. So, what to do ?
DECT-PHONES.
I've a spare BT1000 Digital Cordless Phone, modern, basic facilities, BASE & HANDSET.
A couple of questions ?
1. If I deregister the HANDSET from the BASE; will it REGISTER directly to the SH2 DV PHONE Facility ?
2. The Dect-Phone plugged in to the SH2-Green Socket, works OK. Would it work better, registered directly to the SH2, rather than it's Base ?
I ran with ADSL BT Home Hub Version 1.5, with Hub Phone 1020; until, offered a 'BT Free Upgrade to FTTC F2/80-20'; even though the HH3 only ever ran at 80-10. The Hub Phone 1020, independently, happily 'registered' with subsequent DECT bases, along the way. I guess the DECT technology remains current.

Answering my own questions.
1. Handset only registers with it's own product 'base' series.
2. Handset only registers with it's own product 'base' series.
There's a notional incompatibility between the two different series of Dect-Phones. Registered to one 'base', limited functionality ? Green Socket Phone full functionality. Newly registered Dect-Phone, to the same base, appears to have full functionality, as well.
An alternative, the DV-Adapter. Still 'FREE' ?
p.s 'ORDER' still meandering along, at it's own pace.
