Home Phone

[DDickie]

Can I get my Home Phone to sound a dialling tone?

Ah, sorry, I thought you meant a phone you already had - if it came supplied with the hub it should have a "pair phone" option in the setting menu. I'm not familiar with the phone suppiled with the EE Hub.

Isn't that handset a cordless DECT phone, not a base station? It's meant to pair with the incorporated DECT base station  in the router over DECT. Have you paired them by pressing the WPS button on the router?

[DDickie]

Yes I’ve paired the handset and it’s working and able to make calls.

(I just didn’t know what DECT is)

When you go to make a call, do you not get a dial tone on the phone? On the BT digital voice handset, ( or indeed other wireless DECT handset)  if you press the green phone icon to make a call, you will normally hear a dial tone.

Are you saying you can make calls from it but you don't hear any dialtone while you are dialling it?
