BT Broadband
I'm on Option 3. I've just got the hub phone today. I'm not a techie, I don't understand half of it but if I'm paying for it I want to use it to the best of it's capabilities.

Right for starters, why does it have to run on 2 different telephone numbers? Does this other telephone line only give me access to the free evening and weekend calls?

What is Softphone? Would Ibe likely to use it as just a normal home broadband user? Is it like Skype?

Also, I think I'm getting a laptop for Christmas, the hub is wireless enabled, how easy/hard is it going to be to get it to work with the hub?

Got loads more questions but that will do for now

Thanks for any help

Re: BT Broadband
Not on BT for ADSL but I would guess its a VOIP service so your 'second' number is a virtual number that is purely for VOIP incoming calls.

Wireless is a piece of cake, at worst you pm your friendly local techie and he'll pop round and set it up for you in minutes.(the issue with networks is that people don't (want to) understand them so it confuses them, once you understand them they are very easy to work with)

Yes VOIP service rings a bell. It juse seems funny that they have given me yet another phone just to make free evening and weekend calls. I just assumed there must be more to it than that.

I'd love to understand it, I just don't. They could be speaking to me in Swahali for all the sense it makes to me

Oppps lol! BT's mistake is our cause for laughter ......

I tell you I'm fed up with all the phones in this house now, I nearly have as many phones as remote controls! God imagine them all going off at once it would be deafening!!
