Sky Talk - Compatible internet phones

[Wallytharg]

I had the same problem switching from BT with 4 VoIP  Digital Voice phones. Sky told me they would work - but they don't.  I found this on the internet: " BT VoIP phones generally only work with the BT Smart Hub 2. This is due to BT using a proprietary VoIP (Voice over IP) system called Digital Voice, which requires specific software and configuration that exists only on the Smart Hub 2." I'm no expert but believe this is correct.

You're right. Some BT phones are designed specifically for their Digital Voice platform and aren't compatible with Sky.

Nor would I. Do just be aware that you may have to switch provider again once your discounted new customer deal ends with Sky.

Incidentally, I renewed with BT this year for rather less than Sky are charging you so really not sure what they were doing with £84 pm!

Thank you Mark39

@Mark39 thank you very much and usefully.

I tested my current 2 units around the house , they work.

When I get the sky modem I will buy a set of 4 units analog with 3 WiFi dependent units.

Thanks.
