If you want to use existing phone sockets via the connection from the VM hub, once you are 'switched', then VM should make those modifications for you free of charge as part of the switchover process. This is often arranged as a follow-up visit, post-switchover, as the old incoming line is disconnected from the master socket to prevent the new connection from the VM hub being fed back out into the street.
VM forum staff won't usually reply here in 'Tech Chatter'. A moderator or forum VIP may move your topic to 'Home Phone' where it will get a reply from VM staff.
Default cut/paste answer to this type of query is ...
Ask VM (via the VM forum team on here) to modify your home phone wiring so you can use your existing landline extension sockets via the phone connection from the VM hub.
VM should offer to do this free of charge for you as part of the switchover process.
Make sure they make modifications to your phone wiring so you can keep each piece of equipment in the same place (rather than the offer which sometimes crops up on here to move the hub to a different location)

Your post does not give too much info as to what it is you are after.
Do you mean that your VM landline is now connected from the back of the VM hub and you want to enable telephone wall sockets around your home to work from the hub's phone connection?

fibre phone is not enabled yet, have been supplied with an adapter in readyness for the great day. The phones are remote from the hub so the adapter is useless.
