Bedroom hub

My new fast hub is set up in the bedroom as the only easy access to electric points but I need a phone in the living room area as my husband sleeps in the day

i cannot work out what type of phone can connect wirelessly

If your BT cordless phone is designed to work with BT's Digital Voice service, it's proprietary and won't work with Sky. I have a cordless standard DECT phone and the phone is only returned to the base unit overnight to recharge (in fact the user guide advises not to leave it on the charger all the time, in order to preserve battery health.)

You just need a standard cordless DECT phone. A base station plugs into the Hub and a cordless handset connects wirelessly to the base station.

Re: Bedroom hub

Thanks, I have a BT cordless unit with an ansaphone base, but if I bring the handset into the living area I'm not sure the battery will last

i suppose what I need is a silent base for the bedroom and a separate handset with charging base
