Sorry if I appear a little off with this comment but why have you bought something that you don't know what it does?

You will now have 2 phone numbers. Your old BT number and your your new VOIP number. Why you need 2 is because BT has not pulled its finger out and sorted out porting landline numbers to VOIP providers. This is because they are a set of laxy *****. I think the real reason is that they would loose a lot of customers. After all for £7.99 +VAT a month I can make unlimited calls to landlines within the UK and several other countries 24 hours a day using my Vonage VOIP service. I am only using BT to provide my Pipex broadband and old incoming phone line. I intend to move to NTL for broadband soon. I will still have to pay BT £9.99 a month just to keep my old phone number as I cant port it to Vonage. I can port it to NTL so why not Vonage. As soon as I can port my old number to Vonage BT will loose me altogether and my only phone connection will be VOIP over an NTL broadband connection. So you can see why BT are being a little slow.

Rant over, back to your phones :)

You can phone from and receive calls on either. You need to find out what you pay for on each phone line so you can work out which to use when and even if you will be saving money or not. You can also make or receive 2 calls at once because you have in effect 2 phone lines.

Orange also have the same system, you plug a phone in to the Livebox they supply and it's an extra line. Despite the hassle factor it's a good idea to learn the number and provide it to any business you have to deal with, that way you know not to answer the phone on that line :D
