Old phones and digital voice
How can I get my BT Relate 350 phone to work on digital voice. When plugged in to either the router or home phone adapter it just terminates and incoming call. Outgoing seems to function.

@MrI4n welcome to the community, I've seen reports that using a microfilter has helped when using older phones with digital voice.
Thanks

Re: Old phones and digital voice
Is this a new installation of DV? Plenty of similar reports of incoming calls failing.

Re: Old phones and digital voice
It would not appear to be an issue with the ringing, as I assume the phone rings, but drops out when you pick the receiver up?

Re: Old phones and digital voice
It could be that the ringer in the phone is faulty and presenting a short circuit. This would overload the ringer in both devices, and probably cause the supply voltage to drop, and terminate the call.
As it does it on the hub and the adapter, then I would suspect the phone itself.
You could try a microfilter, as it would add an additional capacitor in the ring circuit, and may prevent any overload.
