I have EE broadband and a BT landline. Will it work ok after voip comes in?

@Yatoto Voip has been around for well over 20 years, is your BT / EE landline currently digital or not and does your current equipment that you have and or using at present have an ATA port on the back of it!

[Yatoto]

My landline is not digital at the moment, and I haven't got an ATA port on my EE router.

@Yatoto Then the EE Hub will need to be replaced at the point the Line gets switched over to a digital service, see the current EE one's below.

OK. Thank you.

I have the same, landline from BT & BB from EE, except my BB is Full Fibre & yours isn't.

In Dec my BT analogue landline was switched to Digital Voice w/out any home visit, use of router or any other new kit in home. It still uses my existing home phone sockets & internal wiring w/out any change. All the work was done at the exchange. All I had to do was change any short (7-digit) local nos. in my phones' phonebook to include the local area code. There is no cost associated with the switch & line rental & call plan are unchanged. See Digital Voice with No Router, No Change or Extra Kit in Home, No Engineer Visit

This new system which I call "DV from the exchange" is called variously Dedicated Landline Service or Home Phone Standard or SOTAP(Single Order Transitional Access Product). It it aimed at users with a landline who do not have BB. It could well be a stop-gap until Jan 2027 when they shut down analogue lines.

But then you'll need to move your landline from BT to EE.

[Yatoto]

I have got a fairly recent EE Smart Router so I just need to transfer my landline to EE then.

[XRaySpeX]

The white EE Smart Router doesn't support DV. It has no phone socket at back.

@Yatoto Are you like @XRaySpeX was, had two separate lines into your home? In your case one on the BT phone line and the other used for the Broadband Internet connection?
