Sky Talk VOIP

Hi there,

have been advised we need VOIP phones to work with skytalk - specifically for other locations in my house. Can anyone advise:-

If it is indeed a VOIP handset for downstairs/ with 2 in a cradle for upstairs which would connect wirelessly to the router?

this being the case, does anyone know what VOIP phone handset would be compatible? as apparently some work and some do not?

any info, help or links to handsets that would work would be much appreciated.

thanks,

Clark

@Clark33344 You don't need VOIP phones for Sky talk. You can use the phone that you have just now. It plugs into the back of the router as shown in the picture below.

Currently we have a none VoIP phone which is plugged into the router downstairs. But obviously for the 2 phones upstairs they can't connect into the router so been advised we would need a VOIP handset with a cradle setup to connect wirelessly to enable a couple of phones upstairs?

@Clark33344 If you want wireless phones for other rooms then would be best to have those as the same set that you have plugged into the router downstairs. If this is not possible, you would have to buy new phones with a base station and two wireless phones for the other rooms.

These are just normal phones you can buy and are nothing special.

A VOIP handset won't work.

Simplest solution is to buy a standard cordless DECT phone, where,the base station plugs into the Hub and you can place the handset where you want. Kits with two (or more) handsets are available.
