Help with Hubs & Talk please
‎25 Jul 2024 08:25 AM
Morning.
Looking for some advice and help please ?
My elderly parents are moving from their flat to an Assisted living residence.
The currently have Sky broadband and Talk (Having a lanline line they still use)
The new home does Not have landline capability...
(but does have Sky dish. So they can still watch Sky No problems)
The manager suggested getting a BT hub and use phones via that.
But confused and need some advice please
1. Is a Sky Hub and BT hub the same thing ? (Do they do the same job)
As they have the Sky hub. I am hoping it's just a matter of changing details with sky. Address etc
2. If we can use the Sky Hub for calls. I have read that we will need to buy a "Dect" phone ? If so can we still use the same telephone number via sky ?
3. Or if we loose the landline number. How do we get a new number for friends and family to call.
(Parents are not tech friendly .. Mum demntia & Dad hard of hearing)
Many thanks in advance...
