Connecting a non mobile hand set wirelessly to my sky router

[Simoncharlie]

Since moving to sky I have lost my landline and now my original cordless handset will not connect. Can I purchase a handset that will connect with my router wirelessly so that when someone rings my landline number is will pick up.

Unfortunately not. The only connection to Sky's phone servoce is via the socket at the back of your broadband Hub. A standard cordless DECT phone will work (a BT handset designed to work with BT's Digital Voice service won't work).

@Simoncharlie  If the handset was from BT you will need to by a standard dect phone setup (if you want to use more than one handset). 

The main base station plugs into the back of the hub UK phone port, they don't connect wirelessly.

Hi what's a standard diet phone set up.? Sorry to be a dimwit!

I just want to use another phone in another room when someone uses my landline number like I did when I used my BT landline

@Simoncharlie  I would recommend gooogling dect phones.

As the setup Sky uses only allow the use of one phone at a time on the landline as you only have the one landline service.  I'm not sure what the BT service did to allow 2 users to use the line at the same time. as I've never had that service.

Lots of examples too if your search Amazon for DECT phones. You can have as many handsets as you wish, and place them where you want them. Only the base station needs to be placed where it can be plugged into the Hub.

I don't think Sky Talk with Internet Calls have the feature to make 2 simultaneous calls like BT Digital Voice has.

It could potentially have the ability to do so but Sky has opted not to provide that capability to customers, this could be down to many reasons from cost and having to manufacture specific handsets/adaptors   one of the reasons why BT Digital Voice have their own digital voice specific handsets.
