Connecting handset to Hub

Hi - For location convenience, I’ve heard that I can connect my home phone to my hub instead of the landline wall connection. Is this possible and, if so, what do I need to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

I believe it may depend on each particular VM area as to whether you can opt in to it or wait until it is rolled out by VM to your area.

which highlight some of the limitations of a phone connection from the back of the VM hub (in particular issues with the landline potentially not being operational depending on the status of the hub and also connecting other legacy equipment such as burglar alarms, care devices etc.)
