Digital voice

Moving over from BT (full fibre) to Sky

Understand that my BT wireless digital voice handset wont work so was going to purchase new BT dect phones which claim to block all nuisance calls if caller id is enabled

Was wondering if sky digital voice has this as standard?

thanks

No, but there's the free Sky Talk Shield, which is similarly effective - you can block numbers, white (star) list numbers, screen unknown callers etc. See Sky's guide here for details: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-talk-shield-getting-started

Edited to add: BT's TrueCall service is also available on standard DECT phones, which use a base station to connect to Sky's Hub, and cordless handsets. It's only the phones designed specifically to work with BT's Digital Voice service that aren't compatible.

Yes, it does. It should be activated automatically.
