This is ahead of an industry-wide change that&#8217;ll see the old analogue phone network being switched off in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>There are four major benefits when upgrading to Digital Voice technology:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>You can get HD-quality phone calls.<\/strong> If you&#8217;re using a compatible phone, you can get &#8216;crystal clear&#8217; HD quality phone calls. Digital Voice technology carries a wider range of audio frequencies so you&#8217;ll get more natural sounding audio with less background noise when you&#8217;re talking on the phone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free Digital Voice calling features.<\/strong> You&#8217;ll get lots of <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/redir\/?go=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bt.com%2Fhelp%2Flandline%2Fdigital-voice--how-do-i-use-my-calling-features-\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-aff=\"BT Broadband\" data-ourl=\"https:\/\/www.bt.com\/help\/landline\/digital-voice--how-do-i-use-my-calling-features-\">advanced Digital Voice calling features<\/a> at no extra cost. This includes voicemail, call protect, caller display, call divert, call waiting and 3-way calling. You can also choose to permanently withhold your number and make multiple phone calls at the same time on a Digital Home phone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Digital Voice works with full fibre (FTTP) technology.<\/strong> It isn&#8217;t possible to use an analogue phone line on the latest full fibre (FTTP) connections. This is because the analogue phone network relies on old copper wires which were never really designed for the ultrafast broadband services of today. With full fibre, you can benefit from faster download speeds and a more reliable broadband service alongside Digital Voice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Digital Voice works with your existing phone, or you can get a new Digital Home Phone.<\/strong> You can use your existing phone by plugging it in to your Smart Hub 2 router or in to a <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/redir\/?go=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bt.com%2Fhelp%2Fuser-guides%2Fphones%2Fdigital-voice%2Fdigital-voice-adapter\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-aff=\"BT Broadband\" data-ourl=\"https:\/\/www.bt.com\/help\/user-guides\/phones\/digital-voice\/digital-voice-adapter\">Digital Voice Adapter<\/a>.

For this reason, you should have an alternative way to make emergency phone calls (e.g. using a mobile phone). If you don&#8217;t have another way to make emergency calls, you should get in touch with BT as it might be possible to get a Battery Backup Unit (BBU). This can keep the service online for a short amount of time if your power goes down.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Some older telecare systems and monitored burglar alarms may not be compatible.<\/strong> If you have a special service device, you&#8217;ll need to check with your provider to see if it&#8217;s compatible with Digital Voice.

Because of this, you can use it pretty much anywhere in your home. According to BT, the phone has a 50m range indoors and a 300m range outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>If you choose the Advanced Digital Home Phone with Alexa built-in, you&#8217;ll get one handset provided. If you want another, you can buy one for <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.bt.com\/products\/bt-advanced-digital-home-phone-with-alexa-built-in-101806-G9YX.html\">\u00a344.98 at the BT Shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Essential_Digital_Home_Phone\">Essential Digital Home Phone<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-29623\" src=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BT-Essential-Digital-Phone-Product-Image-118x250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"71\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BT-Essential-Digital-Phone-Product-Image-118x250.jpg 118w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BT-Essential-Digital-Phone-Product-Image-19x40.jpg 19w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BT-Essential-Digital-Phone-Product-Image-47x100.jpg 47w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BT-Essential-Digital-Phone-Product-Image-237x500.jpg 237w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BT-Essential-Digital-Phone-Product-Image.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 71px) 100vw, 71px\" \/>If you choose BT&#8217;s Essential Digital Home Phone, you&#8217;ll still get full support for the Digital Voice service. This includes HD-quality calls and all of the Digital Voice features. However, compared to the Advanced Home Phone, you&#8217;ll get a slightly smaller screen that&#8217;s in black-and-white rather than full colour. You also won&#8217;t get the Alexa button which is only found on the Advanced Home Phone.<\/p>\n<p>The main advantage to choosing the Essential Digital Home Phone is the fact you&#8217;ll get 2 phones provided at no extra cost. As they&#8217;re cordless, you can use them both pretty much anywhere in your home (with a range of 50m indoors and 300m outdoors). If you need additional handsets, they&#8217;re available for <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.bt.com\/products\/bt-essential-digital-home-phone-090709-G4Z9.html\">\u00a329.98 at the BT Shop<\/a>.

However, you may not get the benefits of HD-quality calls unless your phone is already compatible with the HD Voice feature.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to use your existing home phone with Digital Voice is to simply plug it in to the back of your BT Smart Hub 2 router (either the phone itself, or the hub if you have a cordless device).<\/p>\n<p>If you want your phone in a different place to your Smart Hub 2 router, this is possible with a <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.bt.com\/products\/bt-digital-voice-adapter-100121-GN1T.html\">Digital Voice adapter<\/a>. You&#8217;ll need one Digital Voice adapter for a cordless system, or one adapter per corded phone if you&#8217;re using a corded system.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"BT_Broadband_Digital_Voice_Deals\">BT Broadband &amp;

You can also keep your current phone number when you move to BT&#8217;s Digital Voice service.<\/p>\n<p>Start by ordering your new broadband and home phone service <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/redir\/?go=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bt.com%2Fproducts%2Fbroadband%2Faffiliate-offers%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-aff=\"BT Broadband\" data-ourl=\"https:\/\/www.bt.com\/products\/broadband\/affiliate-offers\/\">from BT&#8217;s website<\/a>. You&#8217;ll be given the option to keep your current phone number when you order. It normally takes up to two weeks to switch your service to BT.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst you&#8217;re waiting for your new BT Broadband service to go live, you&#8217;ll continue getting broadband from your old provider. In the meantime, BT will send you <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/index.php\/bt-broadband-review#BT_Smart_Hub_Routers\">a new Smart Hub 2 router<\/a>, along with <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/redir\/?go=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bt.com%2Fbroadband%2Fdigital-voice\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-aff=\"BT Broadband\" data-ourl=\"https:\/\/www.bt.com\/broadband\/digital-voice\">any Digital Phones<\/a> you&#8217;ve ordered. On the switchover date, you can then plug in your new Smart Hub 2 router and set up your Digital Voice phones.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, it won\u2019t be necessary for you to separately cancel your old broadband service. This is because BT will normally do it for you automatically. The exception to this if you\u2019re a Virgin Media customer, or a customer of another provider that doesn\u2019t use the Openreach network. If this is the case, you\u2019ll need to contact your old provider to cancel the old service for when BT Broadband goes live.<\/p>\n<p>For step-by-step instructions on how to switch to BT Broadband,
