https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Small-Business/DECT-IP-Phones-compatible-with-BT-SmartHub-3/m-p/1356552#M2014 <P>I have recently returned (as an EE Business customer) to BT as my broadband supplier After a brief flirtation with another supplier (who I won't name) I called EE to sign up to UltraFast Broadband because the router supplied by the alternative supplier was absolutely useless - kept dropping the line appalling range etc.</P><P>The new service (ordered through EE but supplied and billed by BT) comes with a nice new SmartHub 3 - excellent piece of kit - reliable, fantastic range etc. BUT the only choice of DECT IP phone system that is offered by BT is&nbsp; the Yealink system. As soon as you open the box&nbsp; you just know it's cheap, mass-produced electronics. The thin plastic covers, lightweight handsets and&nbsp; indecisive buttons on the handsets scream poor quality.</P><P>Sure enough two days in and the first handset failed locking up completely and also locking out the other handsets. I am about to put them all back in their boxes and send them back....</P><P>My problem is... Is there another DECT IP phone system that is compatible with the SmartHub 3? BT were less than helpful saying there might be problems configuring a third-party product with the hub - but surely BT didn't design the hub so it ONLY works with BT supplied phones??? I think the regulators might have something to say about that if they did.</P><P>Does anyone know of a compatible, quality system???</P> Fri, 09 Feb 2024 10:33:47 GMT ProfileTech 2024-02-09T10:33:47Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Small-Business/DECT-IP-Phones-compatible-with-BT-SmartHub-3/m-p/1356552#M2014 <P>I have recently returned (as an EE Business customer) to BT as my broadband supplier After a brief flirtation with another supplier (who I won't name) I called EE to sign up to UltraFast Broadband because the router supplied by the alternative supplier was absolutely useless - kept dropping the line appalling range etc.</P><P>The new service (ordered through EE but supplied and billed by BT) comes with a nice new SmartHub 3 - excellent piece of kit - reliable, fantastic range etc. BUT the only choice of DECT IP phone system that is offered by BT is&nbsp; the Yealink system.
