type pf phone compatible

[thornaby]

HI ,i have recently moved houses and kept my landline as it was cheaper than ditching it. I left my old phone in the old house and need to buy a new phone . Would the small handset type that I plugged directly into old landline (taking power from it) work on the hub connection. Not wanting to spend a lot on phone as its only really used for emergency incoming family calls.

Hi @thornaby,

Thank you for your post and welcome back to our community forums. We're here to help.

You should be able to connect most landline handsets to the router via the adapter provided without any issues. However, as we cannot guarantee that all older models would work, if possible I'd recommend getting a more modern model if you do encounter any problems.

It doesn't have to be anything expensive or state of the art by any means, but a newer model may certainly clear up any problems you may encounter.

Let us know how you get on either way.

Thanks,

thanks for swift reply, I will be buying a new phone but not needing a cordless plug in type.

Hi @thornaby,

If you're referring to a modern but corded phone then that should work fine. You'll just need to plug it into the router via the adapter provided.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,

Hi @thornaby,

You should be fine to use that, but if you have any problems or other queries please do let us know.

Thanks,
