Home landline with full fibre broadband

I am getting FFB installed next week with Sky Talk but I am wondering, will my current analogue telephone work when plugged into the presumably new socket/hub?  In other words, a) will I still plug my existing landline phone into my existing analogue line or b) will I need a new home phone handset (presumably VOIP) to plug into the new hub/router?  Any help gratefully received, thanks.

A VOIP handset definitely won't work. You'll simply need to plug your existing handset into the phone socket at the back of the Sky Hub. The Hub does all the necessary conversion to send your phone signal via your fibre connection.

Is your phone plugged into your Sky Hub? Is the Voice light on the Hub lit? Green or amber?
