Need to know

Phones bought before 2015 may not ring while connected to your Digital Voice adapter. If you are experiencing this issue, call us on 150 and we'll supply a free microfilter which will enable your phone to ring.

Digital Home Phone handset

  1. Check you’re making HD calls - you’ll see a HD logo on your handset when on a call. The other person you’re calling has to have HD calling for it to work.
  2. Try another registered handset to see if there's a problem with the handset or the phone line. Try plugging a phone into the phone port on the back of your Smart Hub (your router).
  3. Check you're in range of your hub. You'll see a 'No link to the Hub' message if you're too far away.
  4. Check the handset batteries, they need to be rechargeable.

Other cordless handsets

  1. Check you're making HD calls, if your handset supports it.
  2. Make sure your phone is plugged into the phone port on the back of the Smart Hub.
  3. Check your handset batteries and that it's charged.

Phones with a cord

Make sure your phone is plugged into the phone port on the back of the Smart Hub.
