Ask VM (via the VM forum team on here when they reply to this topic) 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)

"phoning I’ve been told I can only have one device" this is the usual misinformation given out by offshore customer services and is totally untrue.

Also be very wary about the Alarm. Many alarm systems do not work over VoIP. You may need a new control panel to work over 4G for example.
