I have just upgraded my broadband and Vodafone have upgraded me to VOIP which means my old phones no longer work. Can anyone recommend a 3/4 handset which will allow me to phone in and out using VOIP. I live in a 3 storey house and my router is on the bottom floor but we live on the second and third floors. I borrowed an old twin set phone and the base unit works but the other phone will only phone out it will not receive calls. Only the base unit will receive calls and can be answered. Vodafone are no help even if I can speak to them. They just at go out and buy new phones and Curry’s cannot say which phones will work and just say buy a set and try. However if they don’t work I cannot take them back if they have been opened.
Solved! Go to best answer.

Yes, you are on FTTC. (Fibre to the Cabinet)
Vodafone only seem to have started using digital voice with FTTC recently. although some of the other ISP's have been doing it for a while.
Most digital phone sets will be DECT (Digital enhanced cordless telecommunications) and will be the easiest way to get the phone service working with the Vodafone router with multiple handsets.
The problem you describe with the borrowed set sounds like a fault with the phones, nothing to do with it being used on the Vodafone router.

I don't know what router you have but the latest FTTP router has 2 phone connections, american admittedly nut you just need an adapter from RJ11 to the BT connector

I don't know if you realised but a solution was found and this thread has been dead since August.

Hi All. Anyone know if these phones will work with Voda's Digital Voice?

The phones would work, but it's likely the blocking won't as it's a BT service.

Hey @SteveP-UK We wouldn't be able to make any specific recommendations but as long as internet cable can be plugged into the phone so the other end can be plugged into the router, you should be good to go!

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll drop BT a line and see what they say.
