@Sammyjo933Does the phone work in the normal phone socket is that is how you are getting your service from Sky?

@Sammyjo933 

@Highlinder is suggesting you try plugging your phone into the normal wall socket to see if it works there, instead of into the Hub.

 

No landline phone connects over wifi. If you have a wirelessnDECT phone, try the base station in the wall socket.

I,think you're referring to internet calls, also known as Sky VOIP.

 

The telephone calls you, make are routed directly to the internet via the telephone socket at the back of the Hub. There's no WiFi involved.

It should do, yes. I dont think there's any point reporting it to Sky at the moment, as they'll probably only tell you to wait anyway!

 

If the Voice light doesn't go green on activation day, do post again.

 

Meanwhile, if you need to use the phone, it might work if you plug it into the wall socket, rather than the Hub.
